- 24.05 Academic Year ID

Relationship and period must agree
Concrete checks
- Confirm the four-digit SELPA code against the current CDE directory.
- Verify Reporting LEA, Academic Year, and the populated event date together.
- Check whether the LEA changed SELPAs between academic years.
- Confirm whether 24.13 or 24.14 is the applicable event anchor; do not populate both.
- If local evidence supports the relationship but CALPADS rejects it, preserve the submission and organizational evidence for SELPA/CDE review.
Recommended correction path
- 1
Preserve the rejected evidence
Capture submission ID, row number, raw MEET row, file name, extract version, and the student’s current MEET history.
- 2
Identify the exact event
Match SSID, Reporting LEA and SELPA, Academic Year, Meeting Date or Pending As Of Date, evaluation activity, plan review, and outcome.
- 3
Compare source, file, and ODS
Reconcile the authoritative special education record with the literal delimited row and any accepted CALPADS record.
- 4
Resolve this validation
Verify the Reporting LEA–SELPA relationship for the Academic Year and the applicable Meeting Date or Pending As Of Date. Correct the organizational mapping only when the source relationship is wrong.
- 5
Correct the owning system
Repair the SEDS, export mapping, transaction logic, or organizational relationship that generated the error. Avoid a one-off file edit that will recur.
- 6
Regenerate and verify broadly
Confirm acceptance, inspect the complete MEET history, and test other records produced by the same extract or relationship rule.
