* The decrease in the number of enrolled for 1998-99 is due to the defunding of the two Westchester area contracts.
** The number enrolled for 1999-2000 continued to decrease due to the defunding of the Urban League of Northeastern New York as well as the inability to find a timely replacement for the Westchester area contracts.
