Anyone ever heard of kids getting removed from a school for bullying in elementary?

This is NOT true. We have received students with high needs after count day many, many times.

Their data is more limited and you do not have to expel a kid to get rid of them.

Both are true: it's hard to formally expel a kid whose parents are insistent on staying at a charter, and many families are not insistent on staying and will remove their kid. There's also the third path of a self-contained or private placement, but both the charter LEA and the parents need to be on board for that, and often one of them is not.
