SINC0701E3: Invalid Incident Result Code and Removal to Alternative Setting Reason Code combination

If Student has an overlapping Active SPED plan and student was not suspended or expelled as part of an incident, then Removal to Interim Alternative Setting Reason Code must either not be populated or be equal to "No Interim Removal"

Official Version 18 validation

Severity: Fatal   Type: CVR

an active SPED plan and no suspension or expulsion requires a blank/No Interim Removal value as required by the published result/reason combination.

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, an active SPED plan and no suspension or expulsion, and the records needed to establish a blank/No Interim Removal value as required by the published result/reason combination.

  2. 2

    Verify the student and incident key

    Match SINC, SIRS, and SOFF by student, school, academic year, and Incident ID Local.

  3. 3

    Confirm the actual occurrence date

    Use original documentation and enrollment history; do not move the date to avoid an active plan.

  4. 4

    Evaluate active SPED status on that date

    Use effective-dated SWDS/PLAN evidence, including applicable records from another LEA.

  5. 5

    Validate the offense and result

    Confirm authorized offense findings and final suspension/expulsion/no-action results.

  6. 6

    Review interim-removal documentation

    Have special-education and discipline staff establish whether an interim alternative setting removal occurred and the supported reason.

  7. 7

    Correct only the supported value

    Repair SINC reason, SIRS result, SOFF offense, plan/date, or mapping shown to be wrong.

  8. 8

    Rebuild and reconcile

    Regenerate the incident chain and confirm special-education safeguards and CALPADS data agree.

Before closing the correction

  • The student, school, Reporting LEA, and academic year are correct.
  • an active SPED plan and no suspension or expulsion is supported by authorized evidence.
  • a blank/No Interim Removal value as required by the published result/reason combination is supported on the relevant date.
  • All connected records and regenerated reports reconcile.
