C/A 5.7 · Foster Youth Enrolled - Student List

County / Authorizing LEA Confidential student list

Trace a C/A 5.6 current-foster count to individual students using the confidential county or authorizing LEA list.

Authorized county office of education or charter-authorizing LEA staff with the CALPADS “County or Authorizing LEA Reports” role. The report uses the current date.

Confidential student list. Only authorized staff may access or share student-level information.

Apply the student list’s selection rules

The California Department of Social Services (CDSS) foster youth match must identify the student as currently in foster placement or foster family maintenance on the day the report runs. The 5.7 map specifies transitional kindergarten (TK), kindergarten (KN) and grades 1–12. Check primary (10) and short-term (30) enrollments. Use the most recent open enrollment at the school that overlaps the report date. A student can also qualify when the most recent enrollment record carries exit code E155, regardless of the exit date. An E155 on an older record does not qualify the student through that exception.

Trace a school count to students

Use the same run date, counties, school, grade and enrollment status as the count. Match the student by SSID, check enrollment status and dates, then review the local and statewide match indicators. Keep the 5.7 grade rule specific to this list while the 5.6 map gives conflicting grade descriptions.

When one student appears twice

The map can return a row for each open case ID associated with a single client ID. Compare SSIDs and case records before treating two rows as two students. Keep names, IDs and foster case details within the authorized review.
