CERT111: Homeless Program Eligibility Data Expected

No Homeless Program eligible students were submitted for an LEA.

Official Version 18 validation

Severity: Warning   Type: CVR

The LEA has enrollment data but no current-year SPRG records for the Homeless program population. The baseline’s legacy explanation contains conflicting code references; use the current Version 18 code set as authority.

Fields validated: SPRG Data

Recommended correction path

  1. 1

    Preserve the LEA-level warning

    Save the reporting year, enrolled-student count, and homeless-program count.

  2. 2

    Confirm the current program code

    Validate the applicable Homeless Education Program code against the Version 18 code set before reviewing extracts.

  3. 3

    Reconcile the confidential liaison roster

    Have the authorized homeless liaison compare identified students and effective dates with the CALPADS population using privacy-preserving procedures.

  4. 4

    Check enrollment and identity joins

    Verify SSID, Reporting LEA, school context, and overlapping enrollment for supported participants.

  5. 5

    Review SPRG dates

    Confirm program start and end dates reflect documented eligibility and do not create artificial gaps.

  6. 6

    Repair or document the zero

    Correct the authorized source and extract when records are missing; otherwise retain liaison confirmation that the zero is legitimate.

  7. 7

    Reprocess securely

    Regenerate the report, reconcile counts without unnecessary disclosure, and retain evidence under local privacy rules.

Before closing the correction

  • The current Version 18 program code was used.
  • The confidential liaison roster was reconciled.
  • Enrollment and program dates overlap appropriately.
  • A legitimate zero or corrected population is documented.
