CALPADS Solutions
An open community space for CALPADS Coordinators - —whether you are tracking down an error, preparing for certification, decoding a record type, or simply trying to remember where that report lives. Connect with others using the same SIS system used by your district. And try to have a little fun with this stuff!

CALPADS Calendar
The next deadline is right around the corner! And um, we're gonna need you to cancel your summer vacation to accommodate our compliance deadlines . . .
Updates!
November 4, 2026 reference update. The Code Explorer uses CDE Code Sets v18.1. For current validation rules, consult the CALPADS Error List (v18.5 at this review). Have fun CALPADians and don't let the hamsters (gerbils?) run you ragged!
