Continuous CALPADS Work

CALPADS data submission is an ongoing process. Despite the seemingly 2 month gap between Fall 2 and EOY submissions, LEAs must take advantage of this time to get a head start on EOY submission while updating student information for testing.

2023-24 Collection window

1. Regularly update student data in SIS and in CALPADS

  • Run SSID Extracts for new students
  • Exit SENR records for students who have already exited.
  • Run Cohort Report 15.2 to check accuracy of student memberships in this Cohort year

2. Monitor SPED students’ movement and possible needed meetings

3. Prepare and Test students for:

  • Summative ELPAC
  • CAASPP
  • CAST

4. Stay current with training and Flash communications

5. Run local validation queries to address potential missing data within SIS

  • Check for Absence due to suspension but no behavioral incident record
  • Check for SCTE record but no SCSC record of completion in valid Capstone course

General Reminders

Download Direct Certification and Foster Youth Data before 6/30/2024

The Direct Certification extract and Foster Youth data for AY 2023-2024 will be purged from the system after 6/30/2024. We recommend you download and save the data regularly from now to before June 30 for reference.

Download the Direct Certification Extract before 6/30/2024
Run and download the Foster Youth Reports before 6/30/2024

Run Four-Year Cohort report and update exits and furture enrollments

4-year Cohort Outcome

  • Allow a user to select a future cohort year. (Report 15.1 and 15.2)

  • Will run 4 separate cohort years at a time.

  • Users can see their cohorts earlier and will be able to verify their first-time 9th grade records sooner. 

  • Will be accessible continuously throughout the whole year

  • Verify summer graduates are posted by August 15th at the latest.

  • Post future fall enrollment records for 5th year seniors by August 15th, so they are categorized as "still enrolled" rather than dropouts.

Supporting Reports Extract

  • An LEA may request a Supporting Reports Extract file as an alternative to specific Snapshot Reports. Please note that EOY report roles must be assigned to access a specific EOY submission report

End of Year 1 Submission

EOY 1 Changes

Validation Errors:

  • New IVR preventing future AY student course records.

  • WBLR0649E1 - Missing State Course Code - Embedded Work-Based Learning for Internships
    If Work-Based Learning Type Code is equal to 10 (Internship), then State Course Code - Embedded Work-Based Learning must be populated with a CTE or Work Experience Course (9500-9502).

  • WBLR0564 - Missing State Course Code - Embedded Work-Based Learning for Student-led Enterprise or Simulated Work-Based Learning
    If Work-Based Learning Type Code is equal to 15 (Student-led Enterprise) or 20 (Simulated Work-Based Learning), then State Course Code - Embedded Work-Based Learning must be populated.

EOY Report Changes (SN, SELPA, C/A)

  • Modify Completer reports 3.19 & 3.20 and glossary term to be limited to 9-12th grade to match the expected schools information

What files should LEAs submit for EOY 1?

Note: Files must be submitted and posted in the sequence listed above. Also, users should be aware of the default file upload processing method employed by each file.

What classes should be reported for EOY l?

LEAs must submit information on courses that students have completed during the academic year (7/1/2023 to 6/30/2024). Courses in departmentalized classroom settings in grades 9–12 are expected. This includes:

  • CTE Courses (7000 - 8999)
  • Regular classes in the 9000 range
  • College courses

Who are the students you should report with a Student Course Completion?

You would include all Student Course Completion (SCSC) records of students in departmentalized courses who have completed their said courses during the academic year (7/1/2023 to 6/30/2024). Self-contained classes must not be reported at all.

Work-Based Learning Measures

This page provides definitions and details on current work-based learning measures in the CCI that have been approved by the SBE. It also reviews new measures that are currently being considered for potential inclusion in the CCI.

Who are the students you should report with a Student Career Technical Education record?

You only report SCTE records for students who are CTE Pathway Completers for this current academic year. SCTE records will now require the academic year value and so ONLY CTE Pathway completers for 2023-24 must be reported with a SCTE record.

End of Year 2 Submission

EOY 2 Changes

No Changes in EOY 2 reporting

However, LEAs must

  • Take care of CARS certification early
  • Determine who in your LEA oversees CARS certification and work with them.
  • Submit and certify EOY 2 early, since the program records may already be available in from extract from your SIS.

Get CARS guidance and updates here: https://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/co/cars.asp

EOY 2 Important Reminder

CARS certification must be done early. Certified status for each school under the LEA will affect the CALPADS expected schools table in relation to who are and are not required to submit Title I Targeted program data.

Below are recommended steps in ensuring CARS and EOY2 certification are accomplished without any delays.

  1. Run Report 5.1 certified from EOY 2 2022-2023.
  2. Determine who is responsible for Title I funding/ CARS in your LEA. Work with your CARS person to verify each schools’ current designation.
  3. CARS person must accurately certify CARS flagging each school as either Schoolwide or not
  4. Report Program 122 records of eligible students of Title I Part A Targeted schools in CALPADS. Schoolwide schools automatically count all enrolled students and so does not require any SPRG records.
  5. Run Snapshot 5.1 for EOY 2 2023-24.
  6. Confirm counts for Targeted and Schoolwide schools.

When to submit an Incident record

LEAs are expected to report Incident records for the following:

(1) Incidents involving violations of Education Code Sections 48900 and 48915 even if they did not result in suspension or expulsion and;

(2) Incidents resulting in the use of behavioral restraints and seclusion even if they were not a result of a violation of Education Code Sections 48900 and 48915

For additional , please refer to the following

Incident Reporting Reminders

Users should be aware of some nuances when reporting Incident Data.

  1. Incident Records can be submitted through Batch upload or manual posting at the Incident data page. However, a user cannot submit using a combination of both process for the same incident. If a user decides to upload a SINC file for an incident, then the SIRS and SOFF must be reported through batch as well. If a user decides to manually add an incident online, then the corresponding SIRS and SOFF section can be added in the same transaction.

  2. When Submitting through batch upload, the sequence of submission and posting should be in the order listed below. Each file must contain all reportable incidents and all have zero errors before moving on to the next file.

    1. SINC
    2. SIRS
    3. SOFF

  3. Although there are 3 distinct file types, users will not be able to see the Incident result information in both Student Details (Incident Results) and Incident Data section until both the SINC and SIRS record are posted.

  4. All 3 files use Replacement Processing

    • Records are processed based on the operational key. Records may be replaced using transaction types of “” (empty string), or “ “ (space), or “R” (Replace) all of which cause invoke the same system behavior. Submitted data are processed using the operational key to identify which records will be processed. For batch, all the records in CALPADS with the same operational key are deleted even if only one record with that operational key was submitted and all newly submitted records in the submission with the same operational key or any other operational key are added. For online maintenance, individual records in CALPADS with the same primary key are deleted and replaced.

The table below depicts the processing type and operational key for the various CALPADS record types.

  1. When deleting an entire incident either through batch or online maintenance, please delete in the opposite order of incident file submission. Delete SOFF, SIRS and then SINC.
Record Type Processing Type Operational Key
Student Incident Replacement Processing School of Attendance, Academic Year ID, Incident Local ID
Student Incident Result Replacement Processing School of Attendance, Academic Year ID, Incident Local ID
Student Offense Replacement Processing School of Attendance, Academic Year ID, Incident Local ID

EOY Report Changes (SN, SELPA, C/A)

List of EOY 4 Changes

What files should LEAs submit for EOY 4?

Note: All EOY 4 files will come from the Special Education System and sent to CALPADS through API. Except for the PSTS file, all files must be submitted and posted in the sequence listed above. Also, you should be aware of the default file upload processing method employed by each file.

LEA must also maintain updated student enrollment and demographic information.

Can we Start submitting data now?

Absolutely YES! In fact, we encourage you to start now. Start uploading data for the following:

  • EOY 2, majority of the SPRG records may already be in your SIS. Start uploading relevant program records now. Work with your CARS coordinator to identify schools that are Title 1 School wide and Title Targeted assistance, to determine what schools need to be reported with students' Program 122 records.

  • EOY 4, work with your SPED data submitter, making sure SWDS, MEET, PLAN records are constantly updated. Do not wait until May or June to update their status.

  • EOY 1, although grades for the last semester or quarter may still be pending, semester 1, quarter 1, Trimester 1 and 2 grades may now be submitted through the SCSC together with the CRSC records.

  • Lastly EOY 3, start uploading Incident records (SINC, SIRS, SOFF) and to check for discrepancies. Request data from NPS schools early, so you can provide them feedback for any discrepancies.

Order of Certification

EOY 3 has the bulk of the enrollment. In an effort to make sure all the enrollment records are accounted for, EOY 3 should be completed first.The recommended order of certification is: EOY 3, 2, 4, 1.

Submission Strategies

Things to consider prior to submitting and certifying EOY:

  • Personal considerations

    • What is your easiest file to submit?

    • Do you have other staff to rely on?
    • When is your summer break/vacation?

  • Local factors

    • Availability of school site staff and district personnel, internal deadlines

  • Priority of data submitted

    • Perkins funding data, Public data statistics, Cohort results

  • Potential reporting milestones

    • When is your district's last day of new enrollments?
    • When are final grades available?
    • When is last day of school?

  • CALPADS Deadlines

    • Benefits and consequences of meeting the initial
    • EOY deadline and amendment window deadline

EOY Gameplan

Identify Stakeholders, contributors, subject matter experts

  • Brainstorm, list and the owners of EOY data and the stewards

Define stakeholder responsibilities and participation

  • Use RACI Matrix, Roles and responsibility charts to outline submission and certification duties for - EOY stakeholders, site leaders
  • Clearly define your role

Set expectations for submission and reporting

Create an understanding what success is

  • Find a consensus on a reasonable certification date
  • Explain the consequences of failing to review reports (dashboard, cohort)

Impact of not certifying

There are the major consequences if your LEA does not submit and certify data for EOY by the prescribed timeline.
