1) Search for a staff member in order to conduct maintenance on an individual staff member’s demographic and/or assignment data or

2) Create a new Staff Demographic record for a searched SEID, if none exists.

Three methods are provided: Search by SEID, Search by Staff List and Search by Staff Assignment This page is accessed when the user selects Staff Data Maintenance from the Online Maintenance in the Left Navigation panel.

Staff Search User Interface


Letter A Search by SEID

Use this option, if the SEID is available. If this is the first time you are trying to report a staff member at the district, and the SEID is not available, please contact your HR staff. If HR does not have the person’s SEID, please contact The Commission on Reacher Credentialing (CTC).

Letter B Search by Staff List

Use this option, if you do not have the SEID but the staff member already has prior data reported in CALPADS under the LEA.

Letter C Search by Staff Assignment

Use this option, if you do not have the SEID but the staff member already has prior data reported in CALPADS under the LEA. Allows you the flexibility to search staff at the district office only as well as include those who do not have a Staff assignment reported.


A user can view and edit only staff member records entered by the user’s LEA for the period the staff member was employed by the LEA. Each LEA adds its own Staff Demographics record using the State Educator Identifier (SEID) assigned by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC). A Staff Demographic record must be created before a Staff Assignment record can be created.


Search by SEID

If the staff member has an existing Staff Demographic record for the LEA, a user may select the Search by SEID radio button to search for the staff member. To search by SEID, the user must enter a valid and complete SEID.
