What files should LEAs submit for Fall 2?

Note: Except for the PSTS file, all Fall 2 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.


Staff who should be reported in this submission

Data associated with the following staff should be included in this submission:

  • Certificated employees employed in certificated positions in school districts, county offices of education, charter schools, schools administered by the Department of Corrections, Division of Juvenile Justice, or State Special Schools. Note that even if a given employee is on temporary leave, they should still be included.
  • University interns or district interns authorized by the Commission on Teacher Credentialing and employed in certificated positions in school districts, county offices of education, charter schools, schools administered by the Department of Corrections, Division of Juvenile Justice, or State Special Schools.
  • Substitute teachers (long-term and short-term) as defined by the individual districts.
  • Itinerant teachers teaching at multiple sites within a district. Itinerant teachers may or may not be in the master schedule at a site.
  • “Pull-out/push-in” teachers, also known as “resource teachers,” teaching at multiple sites or at one site. Generally, these teachers are not in the master schedule.
  • Individuals on provisional internship permits, short-term staff permits, or teacher/emergency permits.


Staff who should NOT be reported in this submission

Data associated with the following staff should not be included in this submission:

  • Certificated employees in adult education or preschools.
  • Certificated employees in before- or after-school child care programs that do not include instructional programs designed to meet requirements for promotion or grade-level standards.
  • Classified employees in non-certificated positions below the level of assistant, deputy, or associate superintendent.


Determining Which Teacher to Report

LEAs should always report the “teacher of record” (as defined in Education Code section 44809). This means always report the teacher of record unless the position is VACANT*.

*A "Vacant teacher position" means a position to which a single designated certificated employee has not been assigned at the beginning of the year for an entire year or, if the position is for a one-semester course, a position to which a single designated certificated employee has not been assigned at the beginning of a semester for an entire semester.


What is Teacher of Record?

This pertains to the permanent teacher contractually responsible for the instruction of the pupils in the classroom and maintenance of the school record/register (as defined in Education Code section 44809)

Note:

  • If the teacher of record is on leave and will not return until some time during the school year (i.e. it could be after October 31), it is still that teacher who should be reported on Census Day.
  • If the teacher of record is ill on Census Day, that teacher should still be reported.
  • If no permanent teacher was assigned to the class on Census day due to vacancy or hiring is still in process, the substitute teacher teaching on Census day will be reported as the teacher of record.
  • If teachers are on leave (6018), they need to be assigned a course record or have another non-classroom based code in addition to the 6018. Moreover, the teacher of record's FTE must reflect their regular FTE since zero FTE reporting is no longer accepted or valid.
  • Please refer to the Teacher of Record Scenario Table for additional guidance.

Scenarios for Reporting Teaching Assignments when TOR is on Leave or there is No TOR

The table below provides specific scenarios regarding how to report teaching assignments for Fall 2 when the Teacher of Record (TOR) is on leave or when there is no TOR. (From Flash #294)

# Scenario Report on the CRSE… Report SDEM and SAAS…
1 The TOR is on statutory leave (no matter the duration) and the course is assigned to a teacher with a Teaching Permit for Statutory Leave (TPSL). The TOR The TOR
2 The TOR is on leave and has no assignments; assignments have been redistributed to:
- Other permanent teachers (not substitutes) or
- One permanent teacher
The teachers in the assignments (class) on Census Day (not the teacher on leave).
DO NOT report the teacher on leave to CALPADS (since they have no assignments, reporting them on the Course Section Enrollment (CRSE) File will trigger a validation error).
For the teachers in the assignments on Census Day (not the teacher on leave). For the teacher on leave, close the Staff Demographic (SDEM) record with a Staff Employment End Date at least one day before Census Day. When the teacher returns, reopen the SDEM record. If the teacher was on leave for the whole year, do not update staff service years to include the year the teacher was on leave.
3 The TOR is on leave on Census Day but is permanently assigned to the position for the school year, and the course is taught by a substitute on Census Day. The TOR The TOR
4 No TOR exists, and the course is taught by a substitute on Census Day. The short-term or long-term substitute serving in the assignment on Census Day.
Do NOT use a generic SEID/* 9999999999
The short-term or long-term substitute serving on Census Day.

How to Report Teachers

Teacher Assignment Decision Flowchart

Below is a simplified flowchart on how to report teachers based on their assignment.


 Image of Teacher Assignment Decision Flowchart


NOTE: A teacher may have both classroom and non-classroom assignments and therefore must be reported with multiple SASS records reflecting both a 13 and 14 plus the appropriate additional applicable data.

Teacher Scenarios

What classes should be reported for Fall 2?

Include all Course Section Enrollment (CRSE) records occurring on Census Day or for school tracks that are not in session on Census Day, the course submission includes the course sections that begin no later than 30 calendar days after Census Day. This is required for all K-12 students. Do not include lunch, before/after school programs, or preschool course sections.


Courses that must be submitted Optional courses that can be submitted Courses that should NOT be submitted
Academic core and non-core courses Student Assistant

(where students are not receiving grades or credits)
Lunch Period
Special Education Home Room, Study Hall

(where students are not receiving grades or credits)
Summer School
Home Hospital College Before/After School Program
Distance Learning Free Period
Independent Study Preschool
Adult Education

Reporting 9999999999 SEIDs

SEID 9999999999 MUST ONLY be reported in the Course Section file. Do not submit a SDEM or SASS record with it.

May be used for:

  • College professors with no K-12 credentials
  • Courses identified as college courses in CALPADS will not generate an exception
  • Contracted employees (COE, other districts, ROC/Ps, outside agencies) This will generate an exception, LEAs must provide evidence that educator holds appropriate credential and authorizations in CalSAAS

May NOT be used for:

  • Charter school teachers
  • Non-credentialed charter teachers must minimally obtain a Certificate of Clearance which will issue them a SEID

Using SEID 9999999999s outside of the college course reporting will almost always generate an exception.

SEID 9999999999 may only be used for the following courses without getting flagged as a mis-assignment:

  • CTE Courses (State Course codes 7000 -8999)Courses with Field 9.19 - Course Instructional Level Code populated with:
  • Code 23 - College Credit Only, or
  • Code 24 - Dual Credit.

  • College Credit Course codes: 9020, 9082, 9096, 9120, 9154, 9200, 9227, 9273, 9303, and 9358.


Important Note:

Although CALPADS will continue to allow the use of SEID 9999999999s, wherever and whenever possible, and if information is available, LEAs should:

  • Use the teacher’s actual SEID
  • Submit a Staff Demographic Record for the teacher at the LEA in which they are providing instruction
  • Submit a Staff Assignment Record for the teacher at each school in which they are providing instruction


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

You would include all Student Course Enrollment (SCSE) records occurring on Census Day (10/07/2026) or for school tracks that are not in session on Census Day, the student course enrollment submission includes the student course sections that begin no later than 30 calendar days after Census Day. Do not include lunch, free period, or preschool student course sections.


How to pick the correct course codes

Picking appropriate state course codes for each class should involve curriculum staff and should not be the job of the CALPADS data person. The CALPADS Help desk may go as far as point users to resources need to make the appropriate state course code selections. With that said, when picking a state course code:

  • Determine content of the course

  • Which standards were used to develop the course?

  • What are the grade level standards being taught?

  • DO NOT choose the course code based on the teacher’s credential or student grade levels


How to Report EL Services

There are four data elements that comprise the full English Services information of each English Learner.


EL Services components


What is the Postsecondary Status (PSTS) File?

The Postsecondary Status (PSTS) file will be used by LEAs to submit post-secondary status data for:

  • CTE Pathway Completers as required by Perkins V as part of Fall 2
  • Students with Disabilities (SWD) as required by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) as part of End-of-Year 4

Since the PSTS file will be used for two purposes, not all of the fields on the PSTS file are required for the Fall 2 PSTS CTE submission.

You may review the PSTS page for more details.
