Approved by the State Board of Education in May 2005
- Throughout the 2004-05 SARC data definitions, all references to years have been modified to reflect the reporting of newer data. For example, data previously collected and reported from 2003-04 will be replaced by data collected and reported from 2004-05. In addition, minor editorial revisions have been made in many of the data definitions to improve clarity and readability.
- The data definitions have been substantially reorganized so that each data definition is aligned with a particular table in the SARC template. As a result, numerous data definitions that previously supported a single table have been merged into a single definition. In some instances, a data definition has been added to ensure that each table has its own definition. In addition, the definitions have been reordered to coincide with the order of the tables in the template.
- Some of the data definitions have been retitled to conform to the retitling of particular reporting elements in the SARC template.
- Some of the data definitions have been modified to reflect:
- The combination of particular reporting elements in the SARC template into a single reporting element; and
- The redesign of particular reporting elements in the SARC template to improve their readability and usefulness.
