Adjustments needed because of changes CALPADS is making for Parent/Guardian information on the SINF file: Data is now being collected separately for Guardian 1 and Guardian 2: First Name, Last Name, Education Level.

Move current question regarding Parent Ed Level into section collecting Parent/Guardian Info instead of the Student info. Use new field on Contacts to hold this information (CON.ELV) - same codes as old STU.PED field

Adjustments needed because of changes CALPADS is making for Parent/Guardian information on the SINF file: Data is now being collected separately for Guardian 1 and Guardian 2: First Name, Last Name, Education Level.

Move any reference to Highest Parent Ed Level into section collecting Contact Info for Parent/Guardian. Use new field on Contacts to hold this information (CON.ELV) - same codes as old STU.PED field and allow parents to enter/update data as part of DC process.

Since Special Education information is synched nightly to CALPADS directly from the SpEd systems, it would be great if the two ODS extracts for SpEd information (SPED & SSRV) could use the CASEMIS import process to update the CSE and CSV tables. It could also update the new SWD Indicator to keep it reconciled with CALPADS.

Adjustments needed because of changes CALPADS is making for Parent/Guardian information on the SINF file. Education Level is now being collected separately for Guardian 1 and Guardian 2, Currently one method the student meets the definition is if the highest education level in STU.PED is Not A High School Graduate.

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

Please consider labeling the Lane Name and First Name fields on the demographics page with "Preferred" so it is clear for everyone. Our teachers and staff find it confusing between legal names, preferred names and legal names.

For our students who have legal name hidden, the Cal Grant GPA Export run from Aeries is only showing preferred name which does not not matching the Cal grant application (legal name) and therefore those students are not considered for or eligible for financial aid. Please add an option on what name to print.

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.

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.

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

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.

The Language Assessment Page allows a user to change the student's Reporting Language and Language Fluency by simply choosing an option from the list. This makes it too easy to make accidental changes of Student's Reporting Language and Language Fluency.

In most other screens a user must enter change mode by pressing the Change button, and then commit the changes by clicking Update. The user is not prompted or warned that this will change the value.

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.

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.

Credentials and Assignment: Need to create logic that insures a teacher is qualified to teach a section.
