CBEDS-ORA File A - CDIF Section A and SIF Section A

Introduction

The CBEDS-ORA File A extract generates a file to upload to the CBEDS-ORA Data portal. This extract is used to generate the Type A record of the CBEDS electronic data file. The Type A Record includes Classified Staff counts and Full Time Equivalency from Section A of the County/District Information Form (CDIF) and the School Information Form (SIF). This data is also displayed on Section A of the CDIF and SIF Reports.

Classified Staff counts will include Full-Time and Part-Time Paraprofessionals, Office/Clerical Staff and Other Classified Staff. District counts will not include staff that work at the school sites.

Selection Criteria

Staff Selection – Number of Classified Staff

The report selects staff records from the [Users] table/view based on the following criteria:

  1. The staff member's Staff Status must be Teacher, Staff or Lunch Staff.

  2. The staff member's Status must be Current.

  3. The staff member must not be excluded from state reporting.

  4. The following races must be assigned to staff members as follows:

  • American Indian - Only American Indian selected as the race and not Hispanic is selected as the ethnicity.

  • Asian, not Hispanic - Only one race selected (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Asian Indian, Laotian, Cambodian, Hmong or Asian Other) and not Hispanic is selected as the ethnicity.

  • Pacific Islander, not Hispanic - Only one race selected (Hawaiian, Guamanian, Samoan, Tahitian or Other Pacific Islander) and not Hispanic is selected as the ethnicity.

Number of Classified Staff (Staff member counted once)

  1. The staff member's Full-time/Part-time Designation must be Full-time or Part-time.

  2. The staff member's Job Classification must be 23 (CBEDS Classified K-12: Paraprofessional), 19 (CBEDS Classified K-12: Clerical Staff), or 24 (CBEDS Classified K-12: Other Classified Staff).

Full Time Equivalent of Classified Staff (Staff member may be counted multiple times)

  1. If the staff member has one or more classified assignments, the report will use these first to calculate FTE. The assignments should be created off of the staff's primary record.

  • Assignment Job Class FTE must be populated. Note: School FTE is not used in the calculation

  • Assignment must be active on Census Day, based on the Assignment Start and End Dates

  • Job Classification Code must be 23 (CBEDS Classified K-12: Paraprofessional), 19 (CBEDS Classified K-12: Clerical Staff), or 24 (CBEDS Classified K-12: Other Classified Staff)

Note: Classified Assignments will not be reported on the CALPADS Staff Assignment Records Report.

2. If no classified assignments exist, the following will be used to derive FTE for the Classified staff:

  • FTE is assumed to be 100% unless the School FTE is populated on the Staff's primary record.

  • The staff member's Job Classification must be 23 (CBEDS Classified K-12: Paraprofessional), 19 (CBEDS Classified K-12: Clerical Staff), or 24 (CBEDS Classified K-12: Other Classified Staff).

Select Schools or Leave blank to process CDIF data and SIF data for all schools

By default, the school selection is left blank to generate both CDIF data for the district and SIF data for all schools. Selecting [District and All Schools] generates the same results.

To generate SIF data for specific schools (and no CDIF data) choose one or more schools. Select multiple schools by pressing the shift, command or control keys while clicking in the list.

Only schools with a 7-digit CALPADS school number are displayed in this list and processed when the report is run.

Note:  If a school has the same 7-digit school number (StateSchoolNumber) value as another school in the district, the School name displays "Multiple Schools".

Select Sub-District

If you are at the School Level, you can select only the Current School.

If you are at the district level, you can choose the sub-district and select the list of schools in the sub-district. You need to set up sub-district to view the schools in the subdistrict. 

  • Select All Schools or Multiple Schools in the Sub-District.

Include Column Headers

Choose No Delimiters (can be uploaded) or Include Delimiters (cannot be uploaded) from the pop-up menu. Including delimiters in the file makes each field easier to view in Microsoft Excel.
