Introduction
This report includes the school-level information as found on the School spreadsheet provided by the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA). When the report is generated, a compressed .zip file containing both the CSV and PDF versions of the report is output. Unzip the file to access the individual reports.
The PDF report duplicates the NCEA Databank School Report distributed by NCEA, and allows the user to view the contents of the School data file. The CSV report duplicates the NCEA School Databank Form Excel file, and is output for submission by the school to the Diocese.
