(!) Attendance Reporting Reminder – PADC Web Application Release

[A picture containing text, electronics, computer, display Description automatically generated]Attendance Reporting Reminder: Certified P-1 Attendance Reports are due to our office no later than Monday, Jan. 10, 2022.

Attendance Screens in the new the Principal Apportionment Data Collection Web Application<pas.cde.ca.gov/> are now available for reporting to the CDE…
Beginning in fiscal year 2021-22, LEAs must report data using the NEW Principal Apportionment Data Collection (PADC) Web Application<www.cde.ca.gov/fg/sf/pa/index.asp>, which replaced the PADC desktop software.
* What is PADC?…The PADC Software is used by LEAs to report pupil attendance and other data used to calculate funding for the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) and Special Education (AB 602).

* How does it work?…The PADC Web Application will allow each LEA to enter information, run validation checks (formerly check/save function), and certify data electronically. An automatic email notification will be sent to the COE Administrator once the LEA Administrator certifies. If revisions are needed, the COE Administrator can remove certification so that the screen is unlocked and the LEA can make changes. If no revisions are needed, the COE Administrator views and certifies the data electronically. Once both certifications are complete, data will transfer to CDE on the due date.

* To access to the new PADC Web Application…Contact your LEA’s PADC Administrator. If you do not know who your assigned LEA PADC Administrator is, please contact Jenelle Williams at 964-4710 ext. 5221.

* Available Resources/Tips…The PADC Webpage<www.cde.ca.gov/fg/sf/pa/> contains a PADC User Manual Video tutorials. If you experience technical difficulties, please call the Principal Apportionment Section at 916-324-4541 or email PADC@cde.ca.gov<mailto:PADC@cde.ca.gov>. * Google Chrome is the recommended browser for full functionality of the PADC web application. * Read the User Manual thoroughly for step-by-step instructions and tips for specific data entry screens. * Make sure to save all data before navigating to the next record or tab within a data entry screen; verify all data saved correctly before validation and data certification. * The first time you sign into the system, it may take some time to load. Please sign out and then sign back in for a better user experience.
Important note: Corrections for fiscal years 2020-21 and prior should be submitted through the PADC desktop software. The desktop software can be downloaded from the PADC webpage<www.cde.ca.gov/fg/sf/pa/>. Regards,

The Advance letter and related Excel files<www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/pa/pa2122.asp> are available on the California Department of Education (CDE) website.
