This statewide training session from CSIS is designed to help business-area administrators review and verify critical CALPADS Fall 1 reports used for LCFF and other funding purposes. This session translates technical reporting requirements into clear, business-relevant concepts for cross-departmental data teams, breaking down the business rules behind each column, highlighting common red flags that signal potential issues, and providing
practical guidance for verifying data at the source. Emphasizing real-world application, this session equips participants to connect CALPADS data to local systems and processes, enabling stronger cross-departmental collaboration, earlier identification of issues, and greater confidence in state and federal reporting.
