Report Logic

In order to be included in the extract, students:

  • Must be enrolled in the selected calendar and be in grades 9-12. 
  • Must have a Work-Based Learning Record at any point in the selected calendar where the Start Date of the Work-Based Learning Record is prior or equal to the Enrollment End Date AND the Work-Based Learning Record End Date is after or the same date as the Enrollment Start Date OR there is no End Date on the Work-Based Learning Record. 

The extract can be run against the current active year or the prior year. 

Operational Key

  • School of Attendance (field 5)
  • Academic Year ID (field 7)

Non-Binary Gender Reporting

Schools can assign students a gender of M: Male, F: Female, 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 and staff identity information.

To 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 of M: Male, F: Female, or X: Non-binary.
  3. Save the record when finished.

Validate WBLR Data

Use the Data Validation Report to correct any student data prior to the submitting the CALPADS file to the state. Validation Groups and Validation Rules are provided by Infinite Campus for a specific CALPADS extract (listed below). These groups are used to return certain rules assigned to each group.

Modifications to the Validation Rules and Validation Groups can be made if your district has purchased the Campus Analytics Suite; otherwise, they are read-only. 

Users can select the Missing or Incorrect Data Validation Group, which returns any missing or incorrect data that is reported in the CALPADS Extract, like a missing enrollment exit reason or an incorrect date, for example.

Note that examples refer to CALPADS SENR.
