#' This column identifes the year reported for the survey; some schools report the same year twice.
#' The column that drives this is appdate.  In 2014, it appears that this was not asked, so I assume that this
#' enforces that the survey year is equal to the fall reporting period; 2014 =  Fall 2014.}
