Recommended correction path

  1. 1

    Save the failed date pair

    Capture SSID, SELA status/code/start date, effective SINF birth date, and source audit histories.

  2. 2

    Confirm student identity

    Verify that SELA and SINF belong to the same student and that no SSID merge or local-ID mismatch occurred.

  3. 3

    Verify birth date

    Use the authorized demographic-verification process and evidence.

  4. 4

    Verify ELAS status and start date

    Review language-assessment, enrollment, prior-LEA, and status-history evidence under current rules.

  5. 5

    Correct the authoritative source

    Repair the unsupported SIS demographic, language-status record, date conversion, or identity mapping.

  6. 6

    Review the complete SELA chronology

    Confirm all statuses and start dates form a valid, evidence-supported sequence.

  7. 7

    Reprocess securely

    Verify the fatal error clears and language-status reporting remains consistent.

Before closing the correction

  • Student identity is confirmed.
  • Both dates are supported by authoritative evidence.
  • The SELA history is chronological.
  • Related language reports reconcile.
