Each drawn county pools the districts assigned to it, weighted by enrollment. Pooled state rates, for the {fact:n_states_ranked} states where the analysis covers at least {fact:cov_floor} of enrolled students, run from {fact:state_low} per thousand students in Washington to {fact:state_high} in Arkansas.",

    "A county is drawn when the districts assigned to it that report a count enroll at least {fact:map_floor} students and hold more than {fact:cov_floor} of the students in all the districts assigned to it. Of the gray counties, {fact:map_n_unreported} are served by a district that reports no suspension count (the counties of New York City are among them), {fact:map_n_partial} have districts that report no count holding a quarter or more of their students, {fact:map_n_below_floor} fall below the enrollment floor and {fact:map_n_no_district} have no district with a count assigned to them.",
    "States where the districts in the analysis hold less than {fact:cov_floor} of the enrolled students, among them Florida, Maryland and California, are left out of the ranking of state rates. The highest tenth of county rates starts at {fact:map_top_cut} per thousand students and holds {fact:map_top_n} counties.",
    "The key stops at {fact:map_key_top} per thousand students, the rounded 95th percentile of county rates, and {fact:map_n_above_key} counties above it share the color at the top of the key.",
    "Charter, regional and single-grade-span districts that cannot be matched to a unified district are left out, so a county's rate covers the districts that can be placed. A district that spans counties counts in the county that holds most of its population. Connecticut counties are the eight legacy counties, Alaska is drawn, and Puerto Rico is not drawn.",
    "The Civil Rights Data Collection for the 2020-2021 school year was disrupted by remote and hybrid teaching, and districts report their own counts, so the levels describe an unusual year. Suppressed school cells add nothing to a district's sum. The Collection also records each school's type of instruction in a separate school-level file that this chapter does not use, so the map cannot separate discipline from how much teaching was in person."
