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.
