Dear California Basic Educational Data System Coordinators:

California Basic Educational Data System Fall 2022 Coordinator Contact Updates

In preparation of the 2022-23 California Basic Education Data System (CBEDS) data collection, which is an annual data collection administered in October that collects basic data about schools and districts, as well as some aggregate data on students and staff, the California Department of Education (CDE) is soliciting updates to local educational agency's (LEA's) CBEDS coordinator's contact information. This letter provides a brief description of the CBEDS coordinator's responsibilities and requests LEAs to review their designated CBEDS coordinator's contact information and ensure that the information is up-to-date, or to designate a new coordinator, if necessary. This letter is also notification to LEAs to inform them that there are no changes to the 2022-23 CBEDS data collection.

CBEDS Coordinator Responsibilities

Each LEA is asked to designate a CBEDS Coordinator, who will be the California Department of Education’s (CDE’s) point of contact for any questions about the LEA’s CBEDS data. It is the CBEDS Coordinator’s responsibility to ensure that their LEA is prepared to meet the CBEDS data reporting requirements. It is also the Coordinator’s responsibility to hold necessary CBEDS training for LEA staff and to ensure a complete, accurate, and timely CBEDS data submission.

Charter schools who have elected to report their data independently of their authorizer will be responsible for submitting their CBEDS data directly to the CDE.

CBEDS Coordinator Contact Information

The CDE currently has the following contact information on file for your LEA CBEDS Coordinator. It is important to keep this information current, as it will be used to disseminate notifications and updates related to the CBEDS data collection. Please review and update the following information at your earliest convenience.
