District - Default value is based on the user's security settings. It will be limited to the user's district only.
School - Default value is based on the user’s security settings. If the user is assigned to a school, the school default value will be their school site code. For Administrators, each school has to be run separately. (700 does not mean all schools like it does in Student Master)

Custom Codes to use as Virtual - Click inside the box to choose the custom code that was used to denote Virtual for this district.
