Is there a document that compares the California School Information Services (CSIS) files with the CALPADS File Specifications?
Yes, there are several documents on the CSIS CALPADS Documents Web page (Outside Source) including: • CALPADS File Specifications (CFS)-aligned Gap Analysis Tools: These tools and the listing of data elements within them follow the same format as the CFS. • CFS Gap Analysis and Planning Tool: This tool contains a master list of all CALPADS data elements and their code sets as well as a worksheet for State Reporting LEA and SSID-only LEAs with references to the CFS. This tool is designed for use by IT support staff.
