Federal Ethnicity and Race Management Work with Staff

Once federal ethnicity and race is set up, as well as scheduling/reporting ethnicity, you can then import or manually enter teacher ethnicity and race data.

Import Staff Races

During the initial setup of federal race and ethnicity, use the Quick Import function to transfer staff member race codes into the PowerSchool Teacher Races table. The import file must include the following columns: RaceCd and TeacherID. The TeacherID value is located in the ID field in the Teachers table. General information is available on the Quick Import topic. Refer to your state-specific PowerSchool in-app help for recommended setup of federal race and ethnicity settings.

When importing federal ethnicity and race settings and data into PowerSchool, it is important to perform the imports in the following order:

• Federal Race Categories
• Race Codes
• Student Races
• Teacher Races
