First Interim WorkshopCALPADS and LCFFDBUG October 22, 2013
Who are your district’s Data Stewards? • You can’t know everything so who is the source of data for specific reporting elements. • Student Counts by school and grade • English Learners • Free and Reduced Lunch • Migrant Students • Homeless and Foster Students • Direct Certification for NSLP
How can you estimate your unduplicated count? • Your best source will be your SIS. • Has the data been entered into the SIS? • Who has checked the data? • Ask your SIS administrator for an estimated unduplicated count.
The math is simple! Total Unduplicated Count (FRM + EL) 152 Divided by Total Enrollment 210 Concentration Grant 72%
CALPADS and Local Control Funding Formula • In addition to base funding, the new Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) provides local educational agencies (LEAs) supplemental and concentration grants for disadvantaged students • CALPADS will be the source for disadvantaged student counts
CALPADS and Local Control Funding Formula • Supplemental Grant • LEAs receive 20 percent of base grant for disadvantaged students • Concentration Grant • LEAs receive 50 percent of base grant for disadvantaged students exceeding 55 percent of the LEAs’ enrollment
Best Practices • Create a CALPADS Committee • Let every department know what is needed for CALPADS • Develop a calendar with timelines for data entry, extraction, and report checking • Leave time to correct data after report checking and before certification.
CALPADS Fall 1 • LEAs that certify CALPADS Fall 1 by the December 13 certification deadline: • Will be able to preview their 2013–14 enrollment, and 2012–13 graduate and dropout counts in time to make changes in CALPADS before the February 7, 2014 final deadline • LEAs that fail to certify will have no official enrollment counts • High School districts that fail to certify will have no official graduate or dropout counts and will fail AYP
Changes for 2013–14 (Implemented) • Spring collection moved to Fall in 2013–14 in order to: • Certify FRPM and EL counts on same census day for the Local Control Funding Formula • Base official Immigrant counts on Fall 1 data • Provide additional time to complete Fall 2 Your Consolidated Application FRPM will pull from Fall 1 CALPADS
Who are your district’s Data Stewards? • You! You pull it all together, so how can you make sure it’s accurate? • You can’t know everything so who is the source of data for specific reporting elements… They are also Data Stewards • Free and Reduced Lunch • English Learners • Eligible Immigrants • Special Education • Homeless and Foster Students • Student Counts by school and grade • Discipline Records • Teacher Assignments • Support Staff Assignments • Highly Qualified Teachers
