Validations - CALPADS Data Report  


Overview

The Student Data Audit form provides two reports to assist users in finding data inconsistencies and/or in avoiding common CALPADS errors. Filter Reports by "audit" to see the Student Data Audit Report.  Alternatively, the report is available from View All Reports > Category:  Student Data.


Report Options  

The Validation dropdown provides two report choices:  CALPADS Data and Basic Demographics.



Under the Validations dropdown, a list of validations is provided. Click on the validations to toggle them on or off. On the right, a list of Schools is provided if the report is run at the District level. Click on school names to toggle them on or off. The Show Selected button will pop up an Alert box of the school codes selected.



Additionally, the Details section of the report can be sorted by Student Name or by Error. A Grade Range for the students checked by the report can be selected. If you would like to include inactive students on the report, select the Include Inactive Students checkbox. 


To only include validations for codes with translations on the report, select the Only Include Codes w/Translations on the Report checkbox. The translations are from the XRF table, where Aeries codes are "translated" to CALPADS codes. For example, certain programs (Title I, Homeless, etc.) are translated into CALPADS codes and extracted for CALPADS reporting. NSLP (FRE.CD) codes that are not reported as Free or Reduced can be added to the CALPADS Code Value Translation and translated to blank, ex: N or P codes.


During the last 30 days of the school year, active students who are graduating seniors may have STU.HSG and STU.DG populated in advance of their graduation date. To skip the CALPADS data Active Student w/HSG or DG validation for active 12th grade students during the last thirty days of the school year, check the Ignore STU.HSG/DG validation checkbox. 



Click on at least one of the Print Summary and Print Detail checkboxes and click the Run Report button to run the report.


If both are checked, the report will display both the Summary and Detail sections: 



The Summary section is a list of the validations found by the report with a total of the potential errors provided per validation. Each error will be coded as W or E. A is indicative that the validation is providing a warning. A warning indicates that the data should be checked, but does not require immediate attention, and may in fact be valid within your LEA's data practices. An E for error is indicative that the error should be fixed and will most likely cause a CALPADS error during state reporting. 


The Details section is a list of the students whose records contain validation issues, plus the field and code which is triggering the validation error, and a description of the error.



For each validation issue, the report provides the Student ID number, Student Name, and Grade. The Field provides the field and code that is triggering the validation. The Error gives more details about what the validation expects to see in the field. In the example above, Stu ID 99000069 does not have a country listed in their STU.BCU birth country field on their Demographics page. Student 99000070 has a discrepancy between the two language related fields of STU.LF (Language Fluency) and LAC.EAC (CALPADS Language Fluency). The student has IFEP in their STU.LF field, but LAC.EAC is blank.
