Scheduling/Reporting Ethnicity Codes

On this page:

In addition to the federal ethnicity and race that appears on the student General Demographics page and the staff Edit Information page, students and staff members are also asked to choose a scheduling/reporting ethnicity. Scheduling/reporting ethnicity codes are used to collect individual student and staff level ethnicity data to be used in scheduling and preconfigured reporting.

Note: For information about setting up federal ethnicity categories and codes used in state-specific reporting, see Federal Race Categories and District Race Codes.
