   "Idaho districts and charter schools count official fall enrollment ('membership') as of the first day of October or the nearest prior school day; the value is non-weighted, meaning a student concurrently enrolled in more than one district or charter is counted in each.",
   "Charter school enrollment is already included within the statewide public_school_enrollment total: the statewide total is the sum of every district and charter LEA's membership for that year, verified directly against the 2025-26 figures (314,063 statewide equals the sum of all 192 district and charter rows for that year).",
   "period is the calendar year the school year begins in: period 2024 is school year 2024-25.",
   "No district-to-county crosswalk exists in either source workbook, so only statewide totals are published here; county-level enrollment could not be sourced from SDE's enrollment files.",
   "The 2012-13 and 2013-14 charter totals (18,781.5 and 19,366.5) and the 2014-15 total (19,700.38) carry a fractional student count exactly as SDE's workbook publishes it, from at least one charter school counted at a partial-year FTE rather than a whole headcount; stored as printed rather than rounded.",
   "NCES's Common Core of Data reports a different fall 2022 Idaho enrollment figure (317,555, from Digest of Education Statistics table 208.40) than SDE's fall 2022 membership count used here (318,979); both are kept and the disagreement is recorded below rather than reconciled, since the two agencies define the count differently (NCES CCD state-reported enrollment vs. SDE's own fall LEA membership count)."
