Charter School CDS codes in SEIS & CALPADS do not match the school CDS code in CDE's directory. Since TOMS is expecting to receive the CDS code that is in the CDE directory, this is what is triggering the error.


  • ETS/TOMS is discussing the best way to resolve this error, once they come up with the best way to move forward that works with the way Charter Schools are set up in SEIS due to CALPADS Reporting, they will let us know.
    • Once we have that info from ETS/TOMS, we will pass the information on to Charter LEA's.
  • For now, you will manually upload the Charter School students' test settings using the files you download out of SEIS, and upload them into TOMS.
    • For SBAC, use the TOMS Summative Assessment Report and download the TOMS Download File to upload into TOMS.
      • First, use the Student Download and filter down the school column for your charter school students. 
      • Then you will cross-reference these students on the TOMS download, removing all other students that are not in the Charter LEA. This way you will only report the Charter school students via the manual upload process in the TOMS system.
    • For ELPAC, use the ELPAC Test Settings Report, and download the ELPAC Download File to upload into TOMS
      • First, use the Student Download and filter down the school column for your charter school students. 
      • Then you will cross-reference these students on the ELPAC Download, removing all other students that are not in the Charter LEA. This way you will only report the Charter school students via the manual upload process in the TOMS system.
