SSID Extract

(Updated as of 8/08/2023)

An LEA may request an extract of their SSID information from the CALPADS ODS through the CALPADS portal. CALPADS will create the extract file according to the user’s specified selection criteria. The SSIDs in the file may be imported into a local student information system and/or used locally on the user’s personal computing system.

Record Layout

The file will contain a list of SSIDs and limited demographics based on the selected filter criteria defined by the LEA. CALPADS will extract the SSIDs associated with the students currently enrolled in the LEA. The content of the SSID Extract file is listed in the table below.
