Adding administrative units

[deeabueldahab]

In Colorado we have a unique statues that states:
Article 20 of Title 22, C.R.S.
In 2002, the Attorney General’s office declared that gifted education, like special education, must be administered through administrative units according to the language of the Exceptional Children’s Education Act statute.

“Administrative Unit” or “AU” means a school district, board of cooperative services, or the state Charter School Institute that: oversees and/or provides educational services to exceptional children; is responsible for the local administration of Article 20 of Title 22, C.R.S.; and meets the criteria established in these Rules. (22-20-R-12.01(1))

Administrative Units (AUs) submit the needed data for special ed collections to Colorado Department of Education (CDE). Since and AU can be consisted of one or more School Districts, CDE stores them as parents of School Districts.

When CDE reports special ed data to the feds, AUs will be reported in places of LEAs.

There is a need to update the CEDS model to handle this situation in order for Generate to pull the AU codes for our special ed files.
