Version and review history

The private extraction snapshot of November 4 returned 0 of 11. Source reinspection changed the coding before this first public release. Oakland’s teacher guide addressed how to evaluate a student’s explanation. Merced’s toolkit addressed the evidentiary use of detectors. Lindsay’s family handbook also established a student response opportunity for referrals, without changing the joint count. The table and downloads use the corrected version. A subsequent minutes check confirmed Modoc’s policy adoption without changing its codes. Modoc addendum · D06. The editor retains the original snapshot for comparison.

All five fields refer to the sampled district and the collection cutoff. An affirmative code can reflect district guidance or board policy. Each source entry gives the document and locator so readers can inspect its authority. Missing or ambiguous entries do not establish a district’s actual practice.
