Who Has Access to EDCS
Access to Education Data Collection System (EDCS) has been provided to the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System  (CALPADS)
Local Educational Agency (LEA) Administrator. If you are unsure whether you are the CALPADS LEA Administrator, or if you do not know who
the CALPADS LEA Administrator is, you may look up your LEAs CALPADS LEA Administrator on the California Department of Education (CDE)
Education Data Collection System (EDCS) Search LEA CALPADS Administrator web page.
If your LEA has determined that a staff member other than the CALPADS LEA Administrator will import data to EDCS,
the CALPADS LEA Administrator may request access for that staff by sending an
email to educationdatacollection@cde.ca.gov.
In the subject line of the email, put 'Request EDCS Access' and in the email, provide the following information
about the staff person for whom access is being requested:
-
First and Last Name
-
Position
-
Email
-
Phone Number
Once access has been established for that staff member, the staff person will receive an email stating that their account
has been established.
To access the EDCS to import data, the CALPADS LEA Administrator, or the staff person who has been granted access,
must then create a password as described in the next section 'Reset Password.'
