CALPADS Key Upcoming Deadlines Fall 1 amendment window is open. LEAs must certify Fall 1 data by February 27, 2015 Fall 2 certification deadline is March 6, 2015 If an LEA received an audit adjustment for the 2013-14 CALPADS data, it must use the latest version of the Principal Apportionment Data Collection software and select the Corrected Annual reporting period. LEAs will report the net difference to CALPADS enrollment and/or unduplicated pupil count based on the audit finding. LEA’s Prior year corrections deadline: Due February 23, 2015 to SCOE. California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) Student Test Registration The assessments that comprise the 2015 California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) administration are a mix of computer-based and paper-pencil assessments. The California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System (CALPADS) is the authoritative source for student enrollment, demographic, and program information for the student test registration system known as the Test Operations Management System (TOMS). The student-level data in CALPADS will be used for both the Smarter Balanced assessments (summative and interim) and the CAASPP paper-pencil assessments. The use of CALPADS data for these assessments underscores the importance of keeping CALPADS up to date and accurate. Registration for the tests will occur through a nightly upload of CALPADS data to the TOMS test registration system. LEAs will be able to view and check the students in their districts and schools in TOMS, but cannot update the data in TOMS. It is therefore critical to keep student demographic, enrollment, and program data current in CALPADS. Foster Youth Reporting The California Department of Social Services (CDSS) provides the CDE a data file from the Child Welfare Services/Case Management System (CWS/CMS) to conduct the statewide match. Currently many county welfare departments and local educational agencies (LEAs) share data, conducting matches of data in CWS/CMS and local student information systems to identify foster students. Even though a statewide match is now in place, LEAs may choose to continue to conduct matches with their county welfare departments. Should county welfare departments continue to participate in local matching efforts, they should use the same methodology used by the CDSS for the state file provided to the CDE.
