Notable Resources:
Special Education File Submission Scenarios
District of Choice LEAs and Data Reporting
Currently, there are 44 LEAs designated as a District of Choice. The District of Choice Program allows a student to transfer to a school district that participates in this program. Per Flash 281, DOCs must populate on the Student Enrollment (SENR) file, for students transferring to the LEA under the DOC program:
- Field 1.30 – Student School Transfer Code with Student School Transfer code 4 – District of Choice; and
- Field 1.31 – District of Geographic Residence
Specifically, DOCs must populate both fields for students with an enrollment status of primary or short-term when the student’s most recent prior enrollment is in a California public school in a different LEA. If these fields are not populated, Certification Data Discrepancy (CDD) SENR0320E3 - Missing Student School Transfer Code for District of Choice Transfer will trigger.
Transitional Kindergarten Reporting
As a condition of receipt of apportionment for pupils in transitional kindergarten (TK), a school district or charter school shall ensure that by the 2025−26 school year, TK is available to all children who will have their fourth birthday by September 1 of the school year. To facilitate the addition of TK students to California’s public school system, as specified in Education Code (EC) Section (c)(1), over the next four years, LEAs are to ensure that TK is available to students based on when they turn 5 years old, as follows:
- In 2022–23, students are eligible for TK if they turn 5 years old between September 2 and February 2;
- In 2023–24, students are eligible for TK if they turn 5 between September 2 and April 2;
- In 2024–25, students are eligible for TK if they turn 5 between September 2 and June 2; and
- In 2025–26, LEAs are required to make TK available to all children who will have their fourth birthday by September 1 of the school year.
Student Information (SINF)
The SINF stores the students demographic information and address. Here are are vital data elements and reminders every LEA must remember.
- Always ensure that the Effective Start Date of initial SINF record submitted at the start of the academic year matches the enrollment start date.
- The Race and Ethnicity must always be reported everytime a SINF record is uploaded.
-
Students enrolled with primary, secondary, or short-term enrollments, LEAs are required to submit the highest education level for each parent/guardian reported to CALPADS, in the following fields on the Student Information (SINF) file:
- 2.38 – Parent Guardian 1 Highest Education Level Code
- 2.50 – Parent Guardian 2 Highest Education Level Code*
*Note: Parent Guardian 2 Highest Education Level Code will only be required if Guardian 2 First Name or Last Name is populated.
While LEAs are not required to update historical data, the highest education level for both parents will now be required when LEAs update or add a SINF record for a student.
LEAs will continue to use the existing “Highest Education Level” code set, with the following clarification to the definition for Code 15 – Decline to State:
Prior Definition for: | New Definition |
---|---|
Code 15 – Decline to State | Code 15 – Decline to State |
An individual declined to state his or her highest educational level. This is not the same as unknown (missing information). | An individual who declined to state their highest educational level or for whom information is unavailable. |
Matrix for Parent Ed level inclusion in SED
Matrix shows which education level code is returned based on both parent's education level.
Parent 1 Highest Ed Level | Parent 2 Highest Ed Level | SED Impact |
