If the student is attending a college, out-of-district traditional or out-of-district virtual course, then report the school code here, otherwise the StateProvinceId from the SchoolInfoObject will be used. This might not be equal to DOE015, see SCS data handbook.

Note that each course object may have multiple SectionInfo objects.  If Instructionallevel is set here, there might be multiple SchoolCourseInfo objects for the same StateCourseCode within a school. However, instructionlevel may also be set as an override in the SectionInfo object.
