_{*MSIX MDEs use the term "Secondary School" as an inclusive term for institutions offering academic grades above the elementary school level, without regard to specific grade levels. Generally, High School is a type of Secondary School where graduation diplomas are earned toward college entrance or entering the job market. Similarly, “Secondary Student” is an inclusive term referring to a student who is enrolled in institution(s) offering courses, services and programs toward a graduation diploma. All Course History information must be entered where Migratory Children earn credits toward high school or secondary school graduation.  MDE's related to graduation (#45: COS=03 & #48: Designated Graduation School) refer to schools and programs where a traditional Graduation Diploma may be earned (not to include HSE).}
