How do charter schools report their data to CALPADS?
Charter schools have the option of reporting their CALPADS data independently or through their authorizing agency. New or converting charters choose their reporting status at the same time they are applying for or making changes to their (County-District-School) CDS code. Existing charters can change their reporting status once a year by submitting a Charter School Reporting Status Assurance Form. The assurance form is available on the CDE Charter Schools Web page. Current charter school reporting statuses are located on the CDE CALPADS and CBEDS-OPUS Data Submission.
