more informative popup text

I think we should include the raw numbers in the popup text, not just the percentages. Otherwise readers won't know whether a statistic is about a population of 5 students or 5000. I think this feature should be easy to add after we finish revising the process for loading new data in response to the user's selection.

Currently our format is like this:
In Olney ISD, Latino students received 55.42% of in-school suspensions and represent 36.52% of the student population

I think it should be like this:
In Olney ISD, the NUMBER Latino students received NUMBER (55.42%) of the in-school suspensions and represented 36.52% of the population.

Also, we need to change the popup text to handle erroneous data. We currently have this:
In Baird ISD, White students received 1450% of in-school suspensions and represent 76.74% of the student population

I would change it to this:
The TEA's reports seem to have an error. They indicate that in Baird ISD, the NUMBER White students received 1450% (NUMBER) of the in-school suspensions and represented 76.74% of the population.

The alternative would be not to provide the numbers and just say the data is not available. Actually "not available" might be a fairer choice than blaming the TEA unless I do more to make sure I'm not the one who introduced the errors.
