Abbreviation: SE = standard error.
Middle schools include any schools with no grade lower than 5 and no grade higher than 8. High schools include any school with no grade lower than 7 and at least one grade higher than 8. Combined schools include any schools with at least one grade lower than 7 and at least one grade higher than 8, or with all students in ungraded classrooms.
Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding and because some data are not shown.
SE of average start time is expressed in minutes.
Schools with afternoon start times were not included in analysis.
Reporting standards not met. Relative standard error =0.5 or the response rate <50%.
Interpret data with caution. 0.3 = relative standard error < 0.5.
Rounds to zero. SE is not applicable.

In the report, “Lack of Measles Transmission to Susceptible Contacts from a Health Care Worker with Probable Secondary Vaccine Failure — Maricopa County, Arizona, 2015,” on page 833, the last sentence of the report, “2 doses of MMR vaccine, administered ≥28 days apart, are recommended for children aged ≥12 months and adults born after 1956, for prevention of measles,” should be replaced with the sentence: “All vaccine-eligible persons aged ≥12 months should receive the age-appropriate number of MMR vaccine doses unless they have other evidence of measles immunity.”
