The codes after 5/6/10 should only be on this list: http://isbe.net/sis/pdf/race_code11.pdf
All other codes are retired. When you look up a student you will see their race codes are all "retired white", "retired black" and so on. You need to convert all race codes from pre 5/6 to post 5/6 codes above. Things get more interesting at the Fed level since there is no Hispanic/Latino code. I remember hearing something about this on NPR that Latinos did not want to be Hispanic, MexAM, DR,PR and so on and vice versa. They could not come up with a single code so there is no code. Ask your Supt which code of the allowed Fed codes to change this group into. BK On Fri, Oct 15, 2010 at 9:54 AM, JimHays <hay...@sages.us> wrote: > Not uploading data today.
