CSIS is an agency within the Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team (FCMAT). The mission of FCMAT is to help California's local educational agencies fulfill their financial and management responsibilities by providing fiscal advice, management assistance, training and other related school business services. FCMAT operates from the office of the Kern County Superintendent of Schools under contract with the California Department of Education and the Governor's Office.
This web site is a product of the Student Friendly Services Through Technology (SFS) initiative to assist prospective students, their families, their counselors and California's institutions of higher education with college and University pre-admission and admission processes. One goal of SFS is to develop an interface with CSIS that will enable institutions to exchange academic records electronically.
California Department of Education
Coordination of the CDE's involvement with the CSIS Program is one aspect of the work done by the Data Management Division. Also visit the CDE Educational Demographics DataQuest home page for selectable demographic information about California schools and districts.
The California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System (CALPADS) is a longitudinal data system used to maintain individual-level data including student demographics, program participation, grade level, enrollment, course enrollment and completion, discipline, statewide assessment data, staff assignments, and other data for state and federal reporting.
Cal-PASS (California Partnership for the Achievement of Student Success)
Cal-PASS is an initiative that collects, analyzes and shares student data in order to track performance and improve success from elementary school through university. Cal-PASS represents a new approach to improving education. While the project began in Southern California, it is now spreading throughout the State through a grant from the California Community College Chancellor's Office (CCCCO). Cal-Pass is for use with the K-12 system (for which CSIS will provide data exchange capability), community colleges and universities.
As an association of K-12 educational technologists within the State of California, the major activities of the California Educational Technology Professionals Association are directed towards improving Administrative Information Processing in public education and to prepare its membership to better meet and support the technological needs of the Instructional Program.
The California Department of Education, EdSource, and the Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team are working together to provide easy access to consistent, reliable, objective information about our public school system. The goal is to enable better-informed decisions for California's schools. FCMAT’s California School Information Services (CSIS) hosts and maintains the Ed-Data website.
National Transcript Center (NTC)
National Transcript Center (NTC) is the vendor selected by CSIS to develop and maintain the CSIS Transcript Center. The CSIS Transcript Center is available to all public PK-12 schools throughout California and enables these schools to send student records and transcripts electronically to any PK-12 school, college, and university in the country.
Established in 1997 and located in Washington, DC, the Postsecondary Electronic Standards Council (PESC) is a non-profit, community-based, umbrella association of colleges and universities; professional and commercial organizations; data, software and service providers; and state and federal government agencies.
PESC's mission is to lead the establishment and adoption of data exchange standards in education. The goals of the mission are to enable the improvement of institutional performance and foster collaboration across educational communities in order to lower costs, improve service, and attain system interoperability.
University of California (Eligibility in the Local Context [ELC] Program)
Eligibility in the Local Context (ELC) is one of three paths to freshman eligibility to the University of California, along with Eligibility in the Statewide Context and Eligibility by Examination Alone. Under ELC, the top 4 percent of students in each California high school class will be designated UC-eligible based on the coursework taken at the high school. CSIS provides data exchange capability to enable K-12 institutions to submit data to the ELC program.
