Concrete checks

  • Compare the exact type/outcome pair with Version 18.
  • Verify the governing team determination.
  • Check local mappings that collapse all eligible outcomes to 20.
  • Do not use reevaluation outcomes for an initial event or vice versa.

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

    Correct the unsupported evaluation type, outcome, or both so the pair reflects the documented event—not merely an allowed combination. 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.
