New Ethnic Codes

Beginning Friday, January 22nd, 2010, data entry procedures for ethnicity codes will change. This change will fulfill our need to accommodate new ethnicity collection required for federal reporting. There are two new guidelines:

1. Discontinue using "Archived Ethnics" at this time. The "Archived Ethnics" field should NEVER be changed in the future
2. Begin to use these two fields: "Races" and "Ethnics".

Watch your email for documentation, scheduled to arrive on Thursday, January 21st.
