per New Federally Mandated Race/Ethnicity Reporting Requirements
-Read More-

Re-identification Survey for WCPSS Students (by March 30, 2010):
**The purpose of this survey is to update currently enrolled students' information.** This information will only be used for reporting purposes and will not be a factor in course or school assignments.

Based on October 2007 guidance published by the US Department of Education (USED), all states must implement new standards for race/ethnicity data collection and reporting by school year 2010-11.

To comply with the new Federal requirements, the WCPSS must give families the opportunity to update their children's demographic information. For example, Multi-Racial students can now identify the different parts of their heritage, Hispanic or Latino ethnicity is now treated separately from racial background, and the former "Asian or Pacific Islander" category has been split.
