Available Data Imports

Currently, the only supported data import is for Statewide Student Identifiers (SSIDs) assigned through CALPADS. To import SSIDS, choose the file from a local drive and then click the Import button.

California Preschool Data Collection (CAPSDAC)

Support for CAPSDAC includes extension fields and the Extension Editor definitions to maintain them, Lookup Code Categories, a Code Association, and three extract procedures in the State Reporting application.
Use Lookup Code Editor to set the appropriate Code Association value(s) for CAPSDAC_facalttyp (Alternate Faculty Types to include in CAPSDAC reporting).
CAPSDAC uses different code sets for some of the fields that are already used by CALPADS. Thus, districts need to use Lookup Editor to add Code Translation Sets for zjob_CAPSDAC (Staff Role), zedulvl_CAPSDAC (Staff Highest Degree), and zethnic_CAPSDAC (Staff and Child Race). Please refer to documentation found at https://www.cde.ca.gov/sp/cd/ci/capsdacsupportlanding.asp to find the CAPSDAC code sets.
CSPP (CA State Preschool Program) tracks can be configured in one of two ways: 1) a school for each CSPP site, or 2) a track within an existing school for each CSPP site. If option 1 is used, turn on the CSPP flag in the School Editor and the school StateID will be used. If option 2 is used, turn on the CSPP flag for the track in the Track Editor and put the appropriate CDS code for the CSPP site in the StateID override field in the Track Editor.
