CALPADS Updates
CALPADS Update Flash #244
In the recent CALPADS Update Flash #244 issued on 11/30/22, guidance was provided for addressing a known error inappropriately triggered on Language Instructional Programs (LIPs) for current EL students, that are open in another LEA, old LIP records, or the wrong English. Language Acquisition Status (ELAS). This error is typically triggered when a student who is Reclassified Fluent English Proficient (RFEP) on Census Day continues to be enrolled in one of the specific EL LIP programs. The error can be resolved by ensuring the student is no longer participating in the program and if they are not, exit the student at least one day prior to the date the student was reclassified to RFEP. LEAs are reminded that RFEP students should not be enrolled in LIPs that are designed specifically for ELs.
These programs include:
- 300 – LIP – Developmental Bilingual Program
- 303 – LIP – Newcomer Program (Various Models)
- 305 – LIP – Structured English Immersion Program or other predominantly English Language Instructional Models
- 307 – LIP – Parent Opted Out of EL Program
Missing Student Information in TOMS
Student data will not appear in TOMS until the appropriate CALPADS Student Enrollment (SENR) and Student English Language Acquisition (SELA) files have been uploaded and posted into CALPADS. For an Initial ELPAC and Initial Alternate ELPAC record in TOMS, the following criteria must be satisfied:
- Grade level must be K-12.
- Enrollment status must be 10 (Primary) or 30 (Short-Term).
- Primary Language must be a language other than English or American Sign Language.
- Student demographic data must have an Effective Start Date in CALPADS that is less than or equal to the student’s Enrollment Start Date.
- English Language Acquisition Status (ELAS) must be TBD (to be determined).
