  • EOY 1
  • Data Certification
Date(s)May 4, 2027
Applies toLEAs reporting program participation, incidents, cumulative enrollment, absence/Attendance Recovery, RFEP, homeless and immigrant counts, special education, SWD postsecondary outcomes, and expanded learning

In Plain Language: The official window is open. Freeze reproducible source rosters, post current records, establish partner signoffs, and begin report-level reconciliation for program participation, incidents, cumulative enrollment, absence/Attendance Recovery, RFEP, homeless and immigrant counts, special education, SWD postsecondary outcomes, and expanded learning.

Why this matters

The consolidated EOY 1 combines domains formerly spread across multiple submissions, making cross-program reconciliation essential.

Primary ownership

Primary owner: CALPADS administrator with attendance, discipline, program, EL, homeless, expanded learning, special education/SELPA, and school owners. Certification owner: authorized LEA certifier with SELPA review/approval at the required stage.

Operational workflow

  1. 1. Confirm calendar, roles, access, extracts, local freeze/reproducibility, and partner deadlines.
  2. 2. Post current files and resolve fatal input errors at the authoritative source.
  3. 3. Run certification reports early and distribute pupil-level detail to program owners.
  4. 4. Maintain a variance log with owner, source correction, resubmission, and verification.
  5. 5. Schedule certification, amendment, and backup coverage before local staff availability declines.
