    "A district or agency with no value for this exact measure and period is listed as unavailable with an empty value. It is not zero, and no other year or measure is substituted.",
    "Do not compare this figure with a per-pupil figure from another state or another source: the definitions and the pupil counts differ.",
    "A per-pupil figure depends on what the agency counts and on the pupil count it divides by. This table is not a ranking and is not evidence of waste or of educational quality."
