CA Accountability Coordinators Update for May 24, 2017

(Editor's Note - From an email distributed today to all CA Accountablity Coordinators)

Dear Accountability Coordinators: 

The purpose of this e-mail is to inform you of two important notifications announcing the opening of the 2016–17 End-of-Year (EOY) data submission to the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System (CALPADS). 

These notifications are attached and are also available online on the California Department of Education’s Web site at: 2016–17 Data Collections: 

Mid-Year Update (May 5, 2017 Letter to Superintendents and Charter Administrators): http://www.cde.ca.gov/ds/sp/cl/data1617midyearupdate.asp 

CALPADS Update FLASH #127:

_{http://www.cde.ca.gov/ds/sp/cl/calpadsupdflash127.asp}

We strongly urge accountability coordinators to review these notices since the EOY data submission includes data that will be used for state indicators reported in the Fall 2017 Dashboard. These notices also reference data submission for chronic absenteeism. 

Please note that no decisions have been made to the calculation formula or to the exact information that will be reported in the Fall 2017 Dashboard. Once these decisions have been made for chronic absenteeism, we will notify accountability coordinators. 

Because local educational agencies (LEAs) will not receive another opportunity to correct these data once the EOY amendment window closes on Friday, August 11, 2017, accountability coordinators may wish to work with their CALPADS LEA Administrator(s) and appropriate staff prior to the window closing. If you have any questions regarding these two notifications, please contact the CALPADS/CBEDS/CDS Operations Office by e-mail at This email address is being protected from spambots.
