Student Program (SPRG)

(Updated as of 9/20/2024)

The Student Program container appears on the Student Details page. The page opens with the Student Program container in the collapsed position. Clicking the down arrow on the containers displays the individual program records for the selected student. The system will display all Program records by default, but only will allow editing of Program records belonging to the user’s LEA. The selected student’s historical records will be displayed in reverse chronological order. NOTE: If a user is not authorized to add, edit, or view confidential data types, some student program records will not be displayed.

Student Detail Program Container

The Student Program UI is depicted below followed by its screen elements table and the “Program” UI depiction by its screen elements table. Following the two depictions are the user interaction section and the system operations section with the available system functions, requirements and possible processes that may occur through these interfaces.

If a user is authorized to add and edit records, the user will be able to click on the Open button of each record listed as well as the Add a New Record button.

If a user clicks either button the system will display the “Program” page with the respective fields populated with either values from the student’s existing record or the specified system default values. If the user attempts to navigate from the page before completing the process, the system will display a warning message for the user to confirm the update/addition data will not be submitted to the ODS.

Student Program Modal

The Student Program Details modal is depicted below followed by a screen elements table. If the user clicks to open an existing record, the Student Programs page appears with the values from the student’s selected record. If the Add a New Record button is clicked, all fields on the page will be populated with Null values when the page opens. LEA-level users will be able to modify the School of Attendance, but School-level users will not. All other input will conform to the Screen Elements described below.

Student Program Data Collected

Student program eligibility and participation must be reported to CALPADS as soon as the information is available and continuiously maintained throughout the academic year.

If a student to another school within a district and still meets eligibility or is participating in the same programs, a new program record must be report for the student at the new school.

The following are the expected student programs collected in the different submissions.

Fall 1 Programs Collected

End of Year Programs Collected

NSLP Reporting Nuances

Here are some guidance LEAs must be aware of when reporting student NSLP eligibility.

LIP Program Start and End Dates

Below are guidance on what program membership dates to use for LIP records.

• Students participating prior to the current academic year, use the date the student became eligible for and began participating in the program, or if that is not known, use the first day of school in the current academic year.
• For students who are newly identified as English learners (EL) in the current academic year, use their English Language Acquisition Status (ELAS) Start Date.
• For non-English learners who began participating in these programs in the current year, use their enrollment start date for the academic year.
• LEAs should not annually close SPRG language instruction program records at the end of the school year if returning students will continue in the same program the following school year. For students exiting the school, these records may, but are not required to be closed.

• Students transferring school within the LEA mus have a new LIP record reported at the new school.

• Students who are reclassified to RFEP must exit existing LIP programs (300, 303, 305, 307) with a date that is before the RFEP status date, even if they are still participating in the program.

• Adult EL students (ADEL) must exit existing open LIP programs (300, 303, 305, 307) with a date that is before the ADEL status date even if they are still participating in the program.
