XML file rollout

The unofficial unveiling of the XML file is upon us.  For a few years now the WRPLA has been working with the WDOR in order to create an XML file to transfer assessment data that the WDOR needs in a format that all of us should be able to work with.  Many hours have been spent on this project by quality individuals who were willing to work at this.  Many revisions have taken place and more may be needed in the future, but this file was built to accommodate everyone.  There are so many variables that I believe it took longer than many envisioned but going forward this is the file that we will be working with and using to provide assessment data to the WDOR.
