NOTE: Years with asterisks indicate datasets that may be incomplete and/or not yet fully edited.    
NOTE: Beginning in 2004, students with multiple disabilities were also reported in each category ofdisability which they fit, resulting in a bump in the trend line for most categories. The total categoryremains an unduplicated count of students, so the trend line is valid.
