The SELPA uses the Special Education Information System (SEIS). SEIS provides centralized, online management and storage of Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and special education student records. SEIS student data is utilized to comply with federal and state mandated reporting timelines. SEIS is an essential component of your LEA’s records management, data management, and data compliance.
Program Technicians coordinate with LEAs and oversee accurate special education data reporting, certification, and timely submission for California Department of Education (CDE) mandated reports:
• CALPADS Fall 1
• CALPADS EOY3, EOY4
• Personnel Services
• DRDP (preschool services report if services are offered at your sites)(Necessary?)
• Program Technicians also serve as a point of contact between the CDE and LEAs regarding CDE specialized reporting –
• Data-Informed Non-Compliance (DINC) -Prong I and Prong II
• Performance Indicator Reports (PIR)
• Comprehensive Reviews
• Compliance Determination
• Significant Disproportionality
Your Program Technician will inform you when the state-mandated reports are due and will work with your LEA to ensure that you have the information necessary to resolve errors so that your LEA may submit the required information in a timely fashion. If your LEA is deemed eligible for specialized review by the CDE, the Data Team will communicate with your District Level User and Charter Steering Representative so that you may provide the necessary information to the CDE. Our team uses email as our main form of communication. When you receive an email from the Data Team, please pay special attention as we are asking you to complete a specific task or parlaying important information that may impact your LEAs compliance with the CDE.
Each month the SELPA distributes a data newsletter with important and timely information to help guide school programs and compliance.
Our responsibilities regarding SEIS are all-encompassing:
• Monitor and manage the overall SEIS system and user requests.
• Provide trainings to all SEIS users within El Dorado County Charter SELPA.
• Provide support to LEAs reporting data to CALPADS and the California Department of Education
