This template is used to store the attributes of each course at each school. Use the Course Enrollment and Course Instructor templates to associate
courses with the students enrolled in each section and the instructors of each section respectively. This table maps the local course to the
standardized state codes. The Course template should include all courses offered during the 2010-2011 school year. Only one course per grade is
reported at the elementary level. Music, art health/physical education, technology, and other special subjects are not reported. Non-academic
classes, such as study hall and lunch, are not reported at any level.
