Riverside County SELPA Data Team Workshops are designed to give LEA Data Teams the support and work time needed to ensure CALPADS data submissions are timely and accurate. RC SELPA team members will work alongside LEA data team members: to address and correct CALPADS reporting errors, review updates to the CALPADS reporting process, review SEIS data submissions, and provide any additional support needed for required special education data submissions. We encourage LEA Data Teams to attend with their CALPADS Technicians, SEIS Technicians, and Special Education Administrators. These workshops are offered at no cost for RC SELPA Member LEAs.
