Yes. In order to comply with federal law as delineated in the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) of 2001 (20 U.S.C. Sec. 6301 et seq.), California Education Code Section 60900 requires local educational agencies to use unique pupil identification numbers (Statewide Student Identifiers or SSIDs) for students enrolled public K-12 local educational agencies, and retain all data required by NCLB, including but not limited to, data required to calculate enrollment in addition to dropout and graduation rates.
