D - Course Catalog File 2019-2020

Introduction

The Course Catalog file includes all courses for all grade levels in the current school year at each school in the district. One record should be reported for each course offered at each school within the district. For example, if Eng101 is offered at two schools, there should be two records in the file for Eng101, one for each school in the district offering the course.

Selection Criteria

Selection criteria determine which database records are used in the report. Refer to selection criteria for analysis of report results when the report does not return the correct records.

Course Selection

The report selects records from the [Courses] tables based on the following criteria:

  • The course must not be excluded from state reporting.
  • The course must be associated with a section taught during the current school year.
    • The section must be associated with a school that is not excluded from state reporting.

Report Input
