EDFacts Data Categories

for School Years 2016-17, 2017-18, and 2018-19

Introduction

This attachment contains the information on the data categories. For each data category, there is a table that provides the definitions, permitted values, and a list of the data groups that use that category.

To make this document easier to use, the first section contains data categories that are used throughout the data set. The later sections are organized into the same topics used in Attachment B-3. Within each section, the data categories are listed in alphabetical order.

Items marked as New! (60) or Revised! (60) were added or updated for the 60 day public comment period. Items marked New! (30) or Revised (30!) were added or updated for the 30 day public comment period in response to the 60 day public comment feedback received. Items marked as Final have been revised in the final package in response to the 30 day public comment feedback received.

The following is an index of the data categories in this attachment.
