File Name: ASSIGN99.DBF
This file contains the course data by assignment code. This file is used to reference and match assignment codes to the staff demographics files and the assignment code file. Files must be from the same year to match staff identification codes (REC_ID).
Note: This file contains numerous records and must be viewed with a high powered database software (i.e., Access, DBase, Foxpro, etc.). It cannot be viewed by a software that limits the number of records it can read (i.e., Excel).

REC_ID |
Character |
6 |
This 6-digit code is the unique record identification code assigned to each certificated staff member in California public schools for this specific year. The code is an identifier with no meaning. The code assigned to a record for this specific year will not match the code assigned to the same staff members' record for prior or future years. Therefore, the code cannot be used to match records over time. |
CDS_CODE |
Character |

This 14-digit code is the official, unique identification of the school to which the staff member is assigned. The first two digits identify the county, the next five digits identify the school district, and the last seven digits identify the school. If a staff member works at more than one school, all data regarding the assignments will be shown at the school with the largest portion of assignments; this may result in small data anomalies. |
