Recommended correction path
- 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 one of the listed qualifying offenses, and the records needed to establish a documented Removal to Interim Alternative Setting Reason Code.
- 2
Verify the student and incident key
Match SINC, SIRS, and SOFF by student, school, academic year, and Incident ID Local.
- 3
Confirm the actual occurrence date
Use original documentation and enrollment history; do not move the date to avoid an active plan.
- 4
Evaluate active SPED status on that date
Use effective-dated SWDS/PLAN evidence, including applicable records from another LEA.
- 5
Validate the offense and result
Confirm authorized offense findings and final suspension/expulsion/no-action results.
- 6
Review interim-removal documentation
Have special-education and discipline staff establish whether an interim alternative setting removal occurred and the supported reason.
- 7
Correct only the supported value
Repair SINC reason, SIRS result, SOFF offense, plan/date, or mapping shown to be wrong.
- 8
Rebuild and reconcile
Regenerate the incident chain and confirm special-education safeguards and CALPADS data agree.
