Student Information File Layout

The following table shows the CALPADS field numbers, field names, the eSchoolPlus Tables and Columns and where the data is coming from in eSchoolPlus for the Student Information State file.


NOTE: Some of the data in this file may not match the data that you see on the eSchoolPlus pages. Because this file is an effective date file, if changes are made to data after the Census date, the system will pull the data from the appropriate effective date program to get the correct value as of the Census Date. For example, if the Census Date is 10/01, but you are sending the Fall 1 submission to the State on 10/15 and changes were made to the data that makes up the Student Information file after 10/01, the file would have data as of 10/01, but the eSchoolPlus pages would show the updated data.


There are some data elements that CALPADS has determined are "updatable" that they want updates for using effective date information. These are indicated with a Y in the CALPADS Updatable column in this mapping. After reviewing the list of fields, there are some that don't change based on a date that it becomes effective, but that you are changing because of a data entry error. These fields are listed with a U in the CALPADS Updatable column, meaning that we will send the updated information for that field regardless of the effective date.
