California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System Data Dependency on CARS for School Title I Program Status

The California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System (CALPADS) End of Year 2 (EOY2) data collection is dependent on data that LEAs certify in the CARS Title I, Part A Notification of Authorization of Schoolwide Program (SWP) data collection.

If the LEA has not already certified their 2015-16 Title I, Part A Notification of Authorization of SWP school data, CALPADS will consider all schools in the district as target assistance (TAS). The TAS/SWP status in CALPADS cannot be updated until the LEA has certified the data in CARS.

If you have questions about SWP eligibility or have questions related to the 2015-16 Title I, Part A Notification of Authorization of Schoolwide Program form, please contact Franco Rozic, Title I Monitoring and Support Office at This email address is being protected from spambots.
