    This issue has been resolved with the 4/29 release. Here are the pertinent revision notes:

    • School Info > Imports and Exports > CALPADS Extracts: On the Identifiers tab, the Load SSID process has been updated to accept the CALPADS SSID layout change released to LEAs on 4/22/2025.

  2. CALPADS: Exclude Standards Grade Level Range for Specific State Course Codes and Instructional Levels 23 or 24

    To prevent the CALPADS fatal error CRSC0636, enhance the CRSC extract file to not automatically insert a Standards Grade Level Range (CRS.SGR) for courses with the following State Course Codes (CRS.C3): 7000 - 8999, 9020, 9082, 9096, 9120, 9154, 9200, 9227, 9273, 9303, 9358, and Course Instructional Level Codes (CRS.CL): 23 (College Credit Only) or 24 (Dual Credit).

  4. CALPADS STAS - Do not extract for students in NPS or Private Schools

    As of 9/2024, CALPADS no longer accepts STAS records for students in an NPS or Private Schools (School of Attendance = 0000001) or private school group (School of Attendance = 0000002). Adjust the logic in Aeries to no longer extract automatically for these schools. Currently, Aeries automatically populates an exemption indicator for all NPS students. Remove logic that inserts the Exemption indicator.

    Hello, I wanted to let you know that work on this item was completed and it was released to customers on 4/29/2025. Here are the relevant revision notes:


    School Info > Imports and Exports > CALPADS Extracts: As of September 2024, CALPADS no longer accepts STAS records for students in NPS (School of Attendance = 0000001) or Private Schools (School of Attendance = 0000002). Previously, Aeries automatically populated an exemption indicator for all NPS students. The logic that inserted the Exemption indicator was removed. Now, the STAS extract process will exclude NPS or Private school students in the CALPADS EOY > STAS extract files automatically so schools no longer need to de-select these schools. See EOY CALPADS STAS or STAS Other Options.


  5. Enhance CALPADS SENR Extract to Insert Exit E156 For Returning Students Coded with a STU.GR/STU.NG Translated to Grade 12

    Enhance the CALPADS SENR Extract to insert an exit reason code of E156 for returning students coded with a STU.GR/STU.NG that is translated to grade 12 in Code Translations (XRF).
    i.e. local STU.GR/NG = 14-16 and XRF Student Grade (STU.GR) 14-16 = 12.

    Hello, this work item has been completed and was released on 05/27/25. Here are the relevant revision notes:


    • The process to Auto-close Enrollment (E-155 & E156) 14 Days Before the End of the School Year has been adjusted to extract E156 if the student's grade has a translated value equal to 12. Before students with grade levels greater than 12 were not properly exited with an E156 when they completed their senior year and were returning as a 5th year senior and the student's next grade = 12. Now, those students with a grade translated to grade 12 per CALPADS Code Translations (XRF table) will now extract with E156 when this option is selected and all criteria is met. See CALPADS Extracts - Other Options Tab. 

  6. CALPADS Fall 2 CRSE - Adjust logic for itinerant sections using section staff (SSE)

    For schools where section staff members are used (SSE), the itinerant logic needs to be modified to ensure the Class ID field has the same value when the class has multiple teachers according to (MST.MTS). Currently, schools with this scenario is causing CALPADS fatal error CRSE0639F2.

    Per CALPADS Flash #287, field 9.27 - CTE Course Section Provider Code on the Course Section (CRSC) file is no longer being used and has become a “filler” field. Update the logic to exclude data from extracting when field MST.TEP is populated. Remove the green state reporting highlight.

  10. CALPADS Fall 2 - Adjust logic for Itinerant Teachers

    In Flex or section staff schools, logic needs to be adjusted to have the Itinerant Teachers be limited to those staff members that are not Primary Teachers or are not Past Primary Teachers. Adjust the CALPADS Fall 2 logic to prevent past primary teachers from being included as itinerant teachers. Currently, we just filter out staff who are primary teachers (SSE.PR=1). We also need to filter out those that were past primary teachers (SSE.PPR=1).

    Student Data > Other > Internships - The following changes were made according to recent updates to Work Based Learning requirements for the 2023-2024 CALPADS EOY submission:

    • In the Work-Based Learning Type field, the message "(NO LONGER IN USE BEGINNING 2024-25)" is now displayed for Code 30 because the code is being retired by CALPADS in 2024-2025.
    • The Employer Evaluation field now includes Code 5-Not Provided by Employer.

    School Info > Imports and Exports > CALPADS Extracts (EOY tab) - When creating the Work-Based Learning file, if student records exist with Work-Based Learning Type 10-Internships, the Course Code is now extracted in the WBLR file for field 21.12.

    In the CALPADS EOY SIRS extract, the Incident Result Durations Days should only be populated when the Incident Result Code is Suspension, In-School Suspension, or Expulsion (100, 110, or 200). Submitting days for codes other than 100, 110 or 200 will result in CALPADS Fatal error SIRS0509.

Now, the process accepts the original file from CALPADS which only contains 5 columns and will load successfully on the SSID Replacement tab. See CALPADS Extracts Identifiers - SSID Replacement files document.


  17. SINF Extract - Log info or notify user when a student has an error and 'failed' message displays

    When the SINF process runs and a student has a 'failed' message, it displays the 'Failed and Student ID number" until the process finishes then later displays as "Completed" when it's finished. The file is still downloadable and is valid for the customer to use. A solution is needed to better handle when a student has an error and the error needs to be resolved by the customer prior to running the SINF extract again.

  18. CALPADS SPRG ODS - enhance process for FRE records that need to be deleted

    CALPADS SPRG ODS - Enhance the reconciliation process for FRE records that need to be deleted.
    In the SPRG ODS Reconciliation process, the records with a date that started prior to the first day of school but after 6/30 of the previous year are being closed 1 day before the enrollment start date causing the record to receive a GERR0005 error in CALPADS and will not post successfully. LEAs do not have ownership which is causing LEAs to have to manually clean up data, in some cases hundreds of records.
