One library serves many schools
- We have had this come up with Roy J. Wasson High School (cde_id=9298) in Colorado Springs 11.
- It used to be one high school, so it has a cde id and profile in our database form that time.
- Now one library & building serve six different school entities, only four of which CDE recognizes as schools in their mailing data. Those four are:
- Achieve Online (269)
- Bijou School (871)
- Early College (2400)
- Nikola Telsa (2528)
- Wasson is no longer a school according to CDE, but we have preserved its profile in our database.
- For 2018, we kept the Wasson profile in the database, and they will be entering all of their information under that profile.
A potential long term solution
From Dave: “The most elegant solution to this problem would be to model a parent-child relationship in the data, and then use that to display each (child) school along with the (parent) library’s data in our tool(s). This would allow for showing data for (e.g.) 5 schools, but it would not affect our totals, averages, and ratios. This would require significant changes to our tool, so would be a major project in the future.”
Library serves schools and public
Our definition of a school library is: library has staff paid by school in the library.
Several public/school combinations do not receive any staffing funding from the school, including Creede and Ft. Lupton. In this case, they should participate in the annual public library survey (as long as they meet that definition).
