2006 Grant Application
California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System (CALPADS)
Start Date: 5/24/2006
End Date: 5/23/2010
Amount Awarded: $3,255,445
Project Application 24.4 MB
Project Abstract 143 KB
Major Outcomes:
- Participate in national School Interoperability Framework (SIF) activities, and to support its efforts to collect and submit data for the federal Performance-Based Data Management Initiative (PBDMI) through the Education Data Exchange Network (EDEN).
- Development and implementation of the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System (CALPADS).
- Data Collection: CALPADS will be the database of record for all LEAs, collecting student, teacher, and institutional data directly from LEAs.
- Operational Data Store: CALPADS will host a single, integrated, statewide operational data store that complies with Internet-based standards for interoperability, communications, data interchange, and information security.
- Reporting: CALPADS will provide the data necessary to generate required NCLB reports and provide the CDE with a single, centralized database-of-record for K-12 longitudinal student achievement data for all students served by public schools in California.
- Hardware, Software, Technical Platform
- Development Approach: The CDE in collaboration with CSIS will partner with the selected systems integrator in the design, development, business process change, data cleansing and migration, testing, and training aspects of the CALPADS implementation.
- Integration Issues: CALPADS will likely implement a mechanism for LEAs to use to upload student, teacher, and institution-level data to the CDE in a secure manner.
- Procurement Approach: Solution compatible with CDE Technology Services Division standards for interoperability, open communications and messaging, and system services and components.
- Testing Plan: The systems integrator, in conjunction with the CALPADS project team and CSIS will develop detailed test plans.
- Privacy, Confidentiality and Information Security: CALPADS will be designed, developed, and implemented to conform to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and state privacy requirements.
- Building student records transfer capacity statewide of quality data at the local level that is reported to the state through CALPADS. To build out California's K-12 Records Transfer and CCCTran records transfer from high school to the California Community Colleges.
