Concrete checks

  • Confirm the meeting occurred and 24.13 is accurate.
  • Verify the signed eligibility determination.
  • Do not infer the outcome from the student’s later status alone.
  • Use the outcome compatible with the evaluation type.

Recommended correction path

  1. 1

    Preserve the rejected row

    Capture submission ID, SSID, Reporting LEA/SELPA, Academic Year, all MEET dates, activity indicators, outcome, delay, and the ODS history.

  2. 2

    Identify the event state

    Determine whether the activity was pending or completed and whether it involved an initial evaluation, reevaluation, plan review, or combination permitted by Version 18.

  3. 3

    Build the chronology

    Place referral, consent, pending checkpoints, meeting, determination, delay, SWDS, and PLAN events in order.

  4. 4

    Verify governing evidence

    Use signed meeting/evaluation records, procedural documentation, the SEDS, and the current code/combination definitions. Do not infer an outcome or delay reason.

  5. 5

    Correct the source and mapping

    Populate the supported completed outcome. If the event is pending or no evaluation occurred, correct the Meeting Date or Evaluation Type instead of inventing an outcome. Repair any recurring export rule.

  6. 6

    Resubmit and reconcile

    Confirm acceptance, inspect the complete MEET history, and review connected SWDS/PLAN records and affected reporting results.
