System Enhancements

Processing Enhancements:

• Co-Teaching Assignments: This occurs when more than one educator is providing instruction to the class during the entire class session. If an assignment is reported in CALPADS with “Multiple Teacher Instruction Strategy Category: 1 Team Teaching” and one of the educators reported in the assignment held the appropriate authorization for the assignment on census date, then no exception will be generated.
  • In the "Comments" section of the User Interface and in the Hidden Predetermined Exceptions report, the following is displayed: "One or more assignments reported as team-teaching in CALPADS".
• Suspended/Revoked Documents: An exception generates when an educator’s authorization was suspended or revoked on census date which would otherwise cover the assignment reported in CALPADS. If the educator's authorization remains suspended or revoked when this year's assignment monitoring cycle begins, then it will not display in the "Credential Info: Educator Authorizations” section of the Exception Details.
  • In the "Comments" section of the Exception Details and in the Hidden Predetermined Exceptions report, the following is displayed: "Authorization was under suspension or revocation on census date".

User Interface Enhancements:

• User Work Assignments screen now has a charter school indicator, which is displayed as (C) after the school's title
• Last Logged In column added to Manage User Roles screen
• Additional assignment details can be input for "CALPADS Error" determined exceptions
• Exceptions with 999 SEIDs are viewable on Exception History reports
• "Incompatible Exceptions" message alerts that user cannot edit multiple exceptions as an LEA and a Monitoring Authority at the same time. For example, a District Admin cannot edit exceptions from a District Authorized charter school and exceptions from a Traditional school at the same time.
• Determinations available in Exception Determination Drop-Down menu are limited by exception type:
  • “2019-20 Charter” determination - only available for “CALPADS Code” exception types
  • "Alternate SPED" determination - only available for “CALPADS Code” and “Special Education” exception types
  • “Core Setting” determination - only available for “CALPADS Code” exception types
  • All “Local Assignment Options”- only available for “CALPADS Code” exception types
