This extract is used to submit data on students in Career and Technical Education. It is required in the EOY 1 submission. All data for a school and school year is replaced when a new file is submitted.Existing data can be deleted in the same academic year if the Delete transaction type is selected.

Only Concentrator Completer CTE Students report. These are students who have a completed CTE pathway, as indicated by a Pathway Completion Date within the Academic Year (July 1 to June 30). The student must have a State ID.

See the California Career Tech article for information on adding Career/Technical Education records for students.

Report Logic

A record reports for each Concentrator Completer student that has an active CTE Pathway record marked as Concentrator AND includes a Pathway Completion Date within the Academic Year (July 1 to June 30). Multiple records can report for students with multiple active CTE Pathway records. When the student has multiple sequential enrollments during the Academic Year, only one record per Pathway reports.

  • The school of enrollment at the end of the year reports as the School of Attendance.
  • The school of enrollment on the Pathway Completion Date reports as the School of Attendance.
  • When the student's Pathway Completion Date is after the student's last Enrollment Exit Date, but both dates are within the Academic Year, the most recent School of Enrollment reports as the School of Attendance.

Students do not have to have an active enrollment at the time of reporting, but they must have had an active enrollment at some time during the Academic Year in the reporting calendar.

A record DOES NOT report when:

  • The Concentrator checkbox marked on the CTE record, but the Completion Date field is NOT populated.
  • The CTE Pathway Completion date is before or after the reporting Academic Year.
  • The Discontinued checkbox is marked on the CTE record.

Students marked as State Exclude, in a grade level marked as State Exclude, or in a school marked State Exclude will not report.

Operational Keys

  • School of Attendance
  • Academic Year ID

Non-Binary Gender Reporting

Schools can assign students a gender of M: Male, F: Female or X: Non-binary. This is done on the Identities tool and/or the Demographics tool. 

CALPADS Extracts use the Legal Gender field included in the Protected Identity Information to report student identity information.

To properly record a gender of X: Non-Binary, on the Identities tool:

  1. Assign the Gender of X: Non-Binary in the standard identify fields.
  2. Assign the Protected Identity Information Legal Gender field to either M: Male or F: Female.
  3. Save the record when finished.
