From there, a LEA can then properly identify a school as authorized Schoolwide school through the TiTle I Part A Notification of Authorization of Schoolwide Program. See Image below.


Sample Title I Part A School Schoolwide Authorization


If the school is not an Authorized SWP School, the school is considered a Title I Targeted school. These LEAs will receive fatal certification validation error CERT097 – Missing Title I Targeted Assistance Program Records, if no student program records with an Education Program Code of 122 – Title I Targeted have been submitted to CALPADS for the school, and they will not be able to certify their End-of-Year (EOY) 2 submission.

For schools triggering CERT097 errors that are operating school wide programs, CALPADS LEA Administrators should communicate with their LEA Title I Coordinators to ensure that submit and certify the "Title I, Part A Notification of Authorization of Schoolwide Program" form in the Consolidated Application Reporting System (CARS) Winter Release.

  • The CARS Winter submission typically closes by June 30 each year.
  • LEAs should update schools' Schoolwide statuses as soon as possible, and should not wait.
  • Changes to Title I, Part A Notification of Authorization of Schoolwide Program statuses to CARS may take at least a week before the statuses are uploaded in CALPADS.

The Navigating CARS webinar covers how to maneuver within the web application, reviews the function of each tab, provides examples of forms, and offers additional information about how CARS operates. For detailed instructions are located at the Consolidated Application and Reporting System playlist.
