Data Partnerships
In order to leverage technology and human resources the Commission partners with Federal and State agencies, the Public Segments, and Private Organizations. This gives the Commission greater ability to provide a wider variety of data at a lower cost to the People of California. The following projects highlight some of our collaborative efforts:Crosswalk System
A mapping system for California institutions to provide a comprehensive set of codes used by CPEC, the higher education segments (California State University, University of California, California Community Colleges), other state agencies (California Department of Education), federal government such as National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), and other educational organizations (College Board), etc. • School Code Crosswalk SystemPartnered with:

CDS System
The CDS (County-District-School) code system is designed to provide the California Department of Education (CDE), the Department of Finance (DOF), and postsecondary institutions with a unique code for tracking schools. The CDS code is an identifier that allows schools to be easily sorted and tracked in databases. This 14-digit code is the official, unique identification of a school within California. The first two digits identify the county, the next five digits identify the school district, and the last seven digits identify the school. A CDS code is a number assigned to a school. CDS codes are not assigned to programs. • School Code Crosswalk SystemPartnered with:
