CALPADS instituted 2 new reports under the Accountability/Monitoring Reports section to help monitor and validate the 4-year Cohort Grad Rate (ACGR) data.
15.1 - Cohort Outcome - Counts and Rates
15.2 - Cohort Outcome - Student Details
https://documentation.staging.calpads.org/Reports/Accountability/Accountability/

A report is needed in Aeries to help customers validate the information.

Update CALPADS processing for items in CALPADS Release Update 13.0, dated 7/1/21
1) Update USGSYCOD table with new items/descriptions
2) New Course Group State codes
3) New Language Codes
4) New exit codes
5) New Course Content Area Subcategory

Because internships are now part of the WBLR extract that happens at the end of the year, many times they are being recorded after the internship has ended. Once the record is saved, it disappears from view, and the user thinks the record didn't save properly, so duplicate records are added.

Also, it would be great if the Employer Evaluation field would be flagged when the WT=10 and there is no Evaluation score entered. Those records are rejected by CALPADS.

Can the email generated when the SSID report is complete include a report of all STU.ID and STU.CID numbers, with a SWD indicator = "Y". We could then forward the report to our Pupil Services department so they can be aware of new students with IEP's

The CALPADS Programs Reference by Student should include the Language Instruction Programs (LIPs).

Add filtering logic to exclude any student from being included in the extracts if the only student record resides in the school(s) designated on District Settings page as an Inactives School.

Many districts have special situations that require that they change data in files after the files are created before the data goes up to CALPADS. Having those "Replacement" statements saved in Aeries and automatically run would save a ton of time and make things more flexible. Each Replacement Statement should be able to be associated with specific files.

Please add the Reporting Home Language as part of the SELA Import process. In auditing data we found it would be useful to have the SELA Conflict Report also compare the Reporting Home Language listed in CALPADS to what is in Aeries for testing purposes.

When importing the DC file in the complete email could we have which students were updated not just a total updated? See below for sample of the email:

Total Records Processed: 1,091
Students not found: 0
Number of students in file with codes other than 'S', 'T', 'M' and, 'R': 579
FRE - Records Added: 9
FRE - Records Updated: 1

On Student Data Audit for CALPADS, the Race & Ethnicity errors are triggering for students with a Z code in ETH (Decline to state) and ZZZ code in RC1 (Decline to state) even though the ZZZ code are is mapped to Decline To State on CALPADS XRF. Those should not trigger errors, only blank values should trigger errors. Also would like option to exclude warnings and just process Errors.

Please add checkmarks and other messages so it is apparent what step(s) have been completed. The SELA Import Process under ODS Reconciliation has helpful checkmarks that clearly shows what step you are on in the entire process.

I am requesting for the CALPADS student exit code E150 (program/grade change) to be added to Aeries. Currently the internal 440 Aeries code is used because it also covers teacher changes in Elementary schools. Instead of the extract pulling the proper E150 code when the student has the program/grade change, it would be nice for users to be able to select the proper E150 when applicable. This would avoid confusion when E150 is referenced in CALPADS trainings or discussions because 440 is an Aeries internal code and should remain for teacher changes because it is not reported to CALPADS.

Adjust the SPRG ODS Reconciliation process to create Delete records for programs that are in the CALPADS ODS but not in Aeries. Currently, the process only compares existing program records.

When you have an Aeries district with multiple CDS codes, there are multiple people running the CALPADS extracts. The "Save" button changes the default selection for everyone! Every time an extract is run it changes the default schools for everyone else, and our CALPADS administrator has to deal with errors when they accidently leave a school checked that isn't theirs in the first place.
