What Files Will be Sent When & How

• Districts are required to send all files at least once a month by the 15^th of the month. The State is encouraging districts to submit data more frequently though so that their database is more up to date.
• State Files are tab-delimited and contain a header row with the field names specified in the CEDARS Manual.
• For every CEDARS Extract file, the file name includes the school year so the format is: AAAAA_BBBB_CCCCC_YYYYMMDD_XXXXYYYY.txt
  AAAAA is the 5 digit State District number
  BBBB is the building number or 0000 if run for all buildings
  CCCCC is the file type, that is, DistrictStudent, SchoolStudent, Staff, and so on
  YYYYMMDD is the extract date
  XXXXYYYY is the school year (example 20102011)
