For programs collected in CALPADS, are LEAs reporting eligibility or participation?
For the following programs, we are asking that LEAs report program ELIGIBILITY (the student has met the criteria to receive services), whether or not that eligibility was initially determined at your school: • Special Education • Migrant Program • Free or Reduced Price Meal Program (NSLP) – must be renewed annually • Gifted and Talented Education Program For all other programs, you should report program PARTICIPATION (receiving services). Participation should only be reported if the student actually received the services through your LEA.
