Student Incident (SINC) Record where Statutory Offense Indicator = Y must have an associated Student Offense (SOFF) Record

Official Version 18 validation

Severity: Fatal   Type: CDD

Fields validated: SINC Data

Recommended correction path

  1. 1

    Preserve the failed cross-file evidence

    Save student, school, Reporting LEA, academic year, Incident ID Local where applicable, all relevant dates, SINC with Statutory Offense Indicator = Y, and the records needed to establish an associated SOFF record supported by the offense finding.

  2. 2

    Confirm the incident occurred

    Review the authorized incident narrative, occurrence date, participants, and Incident ID Local.

  3. 3

    Confirm the student’s role

    Ensure the SINC, SIRS, or SOFF record belongs to the correct student and school.

  4. 4

    Verify the offense finding

    Use authorized findings to determine whether a reportable/statutory offense exists; do not infer an offense from the result.

  5. 5

    Verify the disciplinary result

    Use the final administrative decision and dates; do not infer a result from the offense.

  6. 6

    Compare cross-file keys

    Match Academic Year, School, Reporting LEA, SSID, and Incident ID Local across SINC, SIRS, and SOFF.

  7. 7

    Correct the authoritative behavior workflow

    Add/repair only supported component records or remove an unsupported orphan.

  8. 8

    Reprocess and reconcile

    Confirm the entire chain and aggregate discipline reports agree.

Before closing the correction

  • The student, school, Reporting LEA, and academic year are correct.
  • SINC with Statutory Offense Indicator = Y is supported by authorized evidence.
  • an associated SOFF record supported by the offense finding is supported on the relevant date.
  • All connected records and regenerated reports reconcile.
