Is a student’s “legal name” required in CALPADS?
Yes. According to the California Code of Regulations, Title 5, Section 432 (Varieties of Pupil Records), the principal of each school shall keep on file a record of enrollment for each pupil currently enrolled in the school. “Mandatory Permanent Pupil Records” are those records which schools are directed to compile by California statute authorization or authorized administrative directive including the legal name of the pupil.
