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, Offense Code 511 disruption/defiance, and the records needed to establish no expulsion result under the published combination.

  2. 2

    Confirm the offense finding

    Review the documented conduct and authorized offense determination; do not recode merely to preserve a result.

  3. 3

    Confirm grade and enrollment context

    For the suspension validation, verify SENR grade effective on the incident date.

  4. 4

    Confirm the final result

    Review administrative decision, dates, and all SIRS rows.

  5. 5

    Apply the published combination rule

    Determine which reported fact is unsupported while recognizing that CALPADS validation does not replace legal or local-policy review.

  6. 6

    Correct the authoritative source

    Repair offense, grade, result, or mapping only from evidence and authorized review.

  7. 7

    Reprocess and reconcile

    Confirm SINC/SOFF/SIRS and enrollment records agree.

Before closing the correction

  • The student, school, Reporting LEA, and academic year are correct.
  • Offense Code 511 disruption/defiance is supported by authorized evidence.
  • no expulsion result under the published combination is supported on the relevant date.
  • All connected records and regenerated reports reconcile.
