Ethnic Code

You must define the following Racial/Ethnic codes for the district.
The Racial/Ethnic Code is a six-digit number that is comprised of two parts:

• Position— the position of the numeric value in the Racial/Ethnic code identifies the student's ethnicity.
• Priority— the numeric value assigned to the position identifies the racial/ethnic choice, where 1 represents the primary choice, 2 represents to secondary choice, and so on. Each numeric value corresponds to the six ethnicity fields on the state pages.

For example, a student whose primary racial/ethnic choice is Black or African American is assigned a racial/ethnic code 001000. If the student is also of Hispanic origin, the student is assigned a racial/ethnic code of 001002.
