The Fresno County SELPA provides technical assistance to all member school districts regarding the collection and reporting of required data.

Such data includes CALPADS, Personnel Data Reporting, and DRDP: 

California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System Special Education (CALPADS) SPED Data for Fall 1, End of Year 3 and 4

CALPADS is a longitudinal data system used to maintain individual-level data including student demographics, course data, discipline, assessments, staff assignments, and other data for state and federal reporting. Part of the CALPADS reporting process every fall and summer includes submitting data for Special Education from the Student Special Education Data System. The SELPA assists LEAs with technical assistance regarding the resolution to data validation and other errors related to collecting and reporting SPED data to CALPADS.

Personnel Data Report

Section 618(a)(3) of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires each State to submit data on special education personnel to the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP). The data collected are reported in the Annual Report to Congress (ARC) on the Implementation of Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Part B and C. The SELPA provides technical assistance to the LEA in completing this Personnel Data Report and submission to CDE.

Desired Results Developmental Profile (DRDP)

The Desired Results Developmental Profile (DRDP) is a formative assessment instrument developed by the California Department of Education for young children and their families to be used to inform instruction and program development. The SELPA provides technical assistance to LEAs in the implementation of DRDP assessments, as well as maintaining and reporting the resulting data to CDE.
