Common Course Numbering

I have a topic that I'd like to learn about, namely the Common Course Numbering effort in the state. My understanding is that every community college needs to start using the Common Course Numbers. What I wondered is whether you think there are any common course numbers for the math courses for Elementary Education majors.
On a document from 2007 I saw the Elem. Educ. Math courses on the list. But the person at my school implementing the common course numbers says that those courses were later removed from the list, concluding that Elem. Educ. Math courses have no Common Course Number. Is that in line with what is happening at your school?
I have also heard from people at my school that Early Childhood Education courses are not among those with Common Course Numbers.
