CDS County, District, School Codes

Modified on Tue, Jun 25 at 12:38 PM

Did You Know?
Your district can have Genesis automatically import new CDS codes from the state (NJSmart) simply by enabling the "CDS/OPE ID Import" on the Core > Scheduler screen. This task will run every day to import the latest CDS and OPEID codes. Read here for more info: CDS Import Task

A CDS Code is a 9 digit code representing the County Code (CCC), District Code (DDDD), and School Code (SSS) for each school in NJ.

You must fill in the CSD for each school you set up in Genesis. This is done by populating the State County Code, State District Code, and State School Code from Setup.Schools.Modify School.

The State of NJ assigns schools their CDS. If you are not sure of what your schools code is, first check the state's CDS spreadsheet online at https://www.njsmart.org/njr/index. As of this writing of this document, the link was called "NJ SMART County, District and School Codes". If you do not see your school listed in the spreadsheet then you must contact the State.

If the state has not supplied you with a code, you must use 000 - Unknown until one is issued. Once the State has issued you a valid code, contact Genesis support with your CDS and it will be added.
