1
Preserve the failed comparison
Save SSID, MEET record, referral date, current SINF demographic record, and source-system audit trails.
2
Confirm student identity
Ensure the MEET record belongs to the same student represented by the SSID and demographic record.
3
Verify birth date
Use the authorized student-demographic verification process and supporting documentation; correct SINF only when evidence supports the change.
4
Verify referral date
Have special-education staff review the original referral, receipt date, and special-education system record.
5
Correct the authoritative source
Repair the SIS demographic, special-education record, or identity crosswalk that contains the unsupported value.
6
Review related timelines
After correction, check meeting, evaluation, consent, and plan dates for chronological coherence.
7
Reprocess securely
Regenerate SINF/MEET as needed and confirm the fatal validation clears without exposing sensitive documents.
