What data is needed?

All of the reports with the exception of the Discipline Analysis rely entirely on the CALPADS files your district already produces and sends to the CDE. Use the table below to figure out which files are needed.

CALPADS files can be produced from your SIS by you or your IT department or downloaded directly from CALPADS. The file specifications can be found on the CALPADS System Documentation page.

The Custom Discipline Extract needed for the Discipline Analysis report can be produced from your SIS. Download a sample here.
