What does filing the Affidavit mean?
The Affidavit is a registration document only. If the filing entity meets the criteria outlined in #2 in this section above, files properly, and receives a confirmation number, the filing school’s name and other information will appear in a database maintained by CDE and accessible generally to the public. This database is used by public school districts to help determine whether absent students in their attendance areas are truant. Filing the Affidavit does not explicitly nor implicitly constitute approval, endorsement, validation, or certification by the CDE of the school or entity named in the Affidavit. The information filed in the Affidavit is not verified and the CDE takes no position as to its accuracy.
