Note: Any STNs beginning with a zero will need the field or entire column to be formatted to hold the nine digits being reported. Leading zeros will be dropped upon reopening the csv file.
3. Enter either “TRUE” for “yes”; or “FALSE” for “no” in the field under HispanicLatinoEthnicity.
This data should have been collected on the “Collecting Racial and Ethnic Data” Form, Part 1. The Spanish version can be found here.
Note: “TRUE” or “FALSE” should be typed fully capitalized.
4. Enter the RaceDescriptor.
This data should have been collected on the “Collecting Racial and Ethnic Data” form, Part 2.
A more comprehensive guide for connecting geographic/national origin with a race can be found here.
If you entered “TRUE” for HispanicLatinoEthnicity for a student, you must enter the “Hispanic Ethnicity and of any race” descriptor for this student.
If you entered “FALSE” for HispanicLatinoEthnicity for a student, enter one of the other descriptors on the chart below.
These descriptors are both case and space sensitive.
5. Enter the SexDescriptor using the chart below.
This is either a student’s birth gender or their preferred, self-identified gender.
6. Enter the LanguageDescriptor code values using this documentation.
Report the language of the student as determined from the Home Language Survey (in English). This survey is available in Spanish here.
7. Enter the AddressType based on the descriptors found on the chart below.
This field will identify the type of address being reported for the student. Schools may need to report both a home and mailing address on a student if the family prefers to have their mail delivered to a PO Box.
Note: The home mailing address may be utilized to determine the student has legal residency within the state of Indiana while a PO Box does not provide this level of information. The state requires a “home” type address in case of audits to determine the student has legal residency within the state of Indiana.
