GFSA Report 1997-98 (https://www2.ed.gov/about/reports/annual/gfsa/index.html) is a universe survey that collects information on elementary- and secondary-student expulsions related to possession of a firearm at school. The study was conducted using paper instruments. Local education agencies (LEAs) and state education agencies (SEAs) were receiving federal funds under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended, were required to provide information. Key statistics produced from GFSA Report 1997-98 were information on the number of students expelled (by type of firearm and school level); the number of expulsions that were modified on a case-by-case basis; the number of modified cases that were not for students with disabilities; and the number of expelled students who were referred to an alternative school or program.
