Please note, if the FastBridge values do not exactly match other systems, reporting may vary when reviewing data. For example, several Race/Ethnicity codes within DnA may fall into a single code for FastBridge. This will cause a discrepancy when viewing data for various groups of students as they are reported in each system as a different value.
