These instructions work for District staff but they also work for SELPA administrators.
At the SELPA level, these numbers can be used for a SIRAS cost estimate.
If you are looking for the SELPA total, make sure your SELPA access has been configured such that you automatically see all your districts listed in this report.
If not, contact CALPADS support.
Tip:
Once the report has been opened, click the tiny + symbol to show the totals for each eligibility status
Then use the disc icon to find the PDF option to print to PDF.
If your SELPA is considering using SIRAS, this is the count we can use to provide a cost estimate.

So you have the number, lets save a PDF of this document.
Click on the 'floppy disk' icon and select the 'PDF' Option
Once you have done that, the file should be downloaded to your 'downloads' folder or whatever your default folder is your computer saves file to.
The filename will be something similar to:

Save this for your director, or if you are from a SELPA, this is the file to send to SIRAS for the cost estimate.
Great job!!
