Rule: California Partnership Academy ID must be a valid identifier for an official California Partnership Academy.
- 3.13 Education Program Code
- 3.19 California Partnership Academy ID
What CALPADS is trying to identify
A California Partnership Academy is a state program generally serving grades 10–12 through a “school-within-a-school” model that integrates academic and career-technical education, employer and postsecondary partnerships, mentoring, and work-based learning. Not every locally named academy or pathway is an official CPA.
The value in field 3.19 identifies the specific academy. It is not the school CDS code, the CTE pathway code, the local academy name, a grant number, or program code 113.
Common invalid substitutions
| Submitted value | Why it fails | What belongs in field 3.19 |
|---|---|---|
| School CDS code | Identifies a school, not an academy | The academy’s five-character state ID |
| 113 | Identifies the program type | The specific academy ID; keep 113 in field 3.13 |
| Health Academy | A name is not the state identifier | The ID listed for that academy |
| Locally assigned pathway code | May be meaningful only inside the SIS | The verified CDE-issued academy ID |
Treat the ID as text. A spreadsheet or export process can remove a leading zero or alter the value. Compare all five characters with the current CDE directory; do not “repair” it by guessing.
Recommended correction path
- 1
Confirm official CPA status
Verify that the local program is an official California Partnership Academy and that the student participates in that academy.
- 2
Find the current identifier
Locate the academy in the current CDE directory. Match the academy name and school carefully, especially when an LEA operates several academies.
- 3
Compare character by character
Look for a transposition, missing leading zero, extra space, stale identifier, or an ID belonging to another school or academy.
- 4
Correct the source—not just the file
Update the SIS program record or academy crosswalk so future extracts reproduce the verified five-character value.
- 5
Resolve uncertain status
If the academy cannot be located or its status has changed, consult the academy coordinator and CDE program information before resubmitting. Do not substitute a nearby academy’s ID.
- 6
Resubmit and audit
Post the corrected SPRG record and review other students mapped to the same local academy.
