CertifyCALPADS is a hosted software application that runs a battery of data certification rules, called an “observation,” against your CALPADS submission formats to check for data that is incomplete, inaccurate or otherwise expected to compromise your CALPADS data submission. The data certification rules used in CertifyCALPADS have been configured and tested jointly by Certica Solutions and California school districts and are based entirely on the 2009-2010 CALPADS data specifications. |

School and district users have access to their own, personalized Data Certification Scorecard – for just the data in their purview. For example, a data clerk at the Grove Elementary School in the Sundown Unified School District will see only student, teacher and school data for that particular school, whereas a special education coordinator for the district would see only special education data, but for all schools in the district. |

The CertifyCALPADS Data Certification Scorecards: a) quantify the number of data errors in a summary or digest form; and also b) provide highly detailed data certification results, which are the actual records that violate the rules. The Data Certification Scorecards are accessible online to your authorized users and are refreshed daily. |

Authorized personnel in your district, such as data administrators, technology coordinators and school data clerks will receive an email notification when errors are detected in your district’s data. The email will display the Scorecard showing which rules have errors and the number of errors per rule, and it also provides a link to CertifyCALPADS.com, so the authorized user can login and see the detailed data certification results. |

Once data issues are reviewed using the Scorecard, they can then be expediently researched, reconciled and corrected in your student system. Problematic records which have been corrected or reconciled will not show on the Scorecard when the next observation is run. |
