California Basic Educational Data Systems (CBEDS)
"The California Basic Educational Data System (CBEDS) is an annual collection of basic student and staff data that the California Department of Education (CDE) implemented in 1980. Throughout the years, the data have given local educational agencies and government organizations critical information on which to base their funding, research, program planning, and policy decisions. In addition, CBEDS provides the public with important information about California's educational system."
