An Eligible and Participating student must not change statuses on the same day they exit School as a graduate, completer, or dropout

Official Version 18 validation

Severity: Fatal   Type: CDD

Fields validated: SENR Data

Recommended correction path

  1. 1

    Preserve the failed record

    Save student, school, Reporting LEA, academic year, effective dates, Eligible and Participating status change, and every record needed to verify not on the same day as the qualifying graduate, completer, or dropout school exit.

  2. 2

    Confirm the SENR exit

    Verify actual graduate, completer, or dropout event, exit date, completion status, and exit reason.

  3. 3

    Confirm the SWDS transition

    Review the special-education status decision and intended effective date.

  4. 4

    Compare exact dates

    Determine whether a same-day status change was created by automation, rounding, or an unsupported interpretation.

  5. 5

    Review responsibility after exit

    Coordinate transition/exit ownership and related PLAN/SERV/PSTS implications.

  6. 6

    Correct only supported dates/statuses

    Preserve the real school exit and special-education lifecycle; do not add a one-day offset without evidence.

  7. 7

    Reprocess and reconcile

    Confirm enrollment, completion, SWDS, and downstream outcomes agree.

Before closing the correction

  • Student identity and reporting ownership are correct.
  • Eligible and Participating status change is supported.
  • not on the same day as the qualifying graduate, completer, or dropout school exit is supported on the required effective date.
  • The authoritative workflow is corrected and regenerated reports reconcile.
