Education Data Collection System (EDCS)

The Education Data Collection System (EDCS) is currently closed for data collection.

EDCS is used by the California Department of Education (CDE) to collect data for temporary programs or for data collections that are being evaluated for potential inclusion in the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System (CALPADS).

The CALPADS LEA Administrator for your local educational agency (LEA) can sign in to EDCS using a single set of credentials to upload data for any active temporary collection.

If you are unsure whether you are the CALPADS LEA Administrator, or if you need to identify the appropriate contact, you can search for your LEA’s CALPADS LEA Administrator on the Search LEA CALPADS Administrator web page.
