C/A 5.8 · Former Foster Youth Enrolled - Count

County / Authorizing LEA Aggregate count

Review former foster youth by school and grade and see how many distinct students contribute to the total.

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.

Aggregate counts. Review small cells and local disclosure rules before sharing.

Which students qualify

The student must have been identified as foster during the current academic year and must have left foster status by the report date. CALPADS uses the LCFF Foster End Date in the foster match results to identify an ended episode. Check for any active episode on the report date. A foster episode confined to a prior academic year does not qualify.

Select the school and enrollment

The map covers TK, kindergarten 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. The county of jurisdiction and county of enrollment filters determine the county scope.

Read the unduplicated total

The grade columns count qualifying students by grade. The unduplicated total counts each distinct student represented in those grade counts once within the selected scope. When reconciling with C/A 5.9, match the filters and count distinct SSIDs. Two detail rows for the same SSID contribute one student to that total.
