IVR0002: Invalid Reporting School

The submitted School of Attendance is not valid for the Reporting LEA or lacks the required active CALPADS reporting relationship.

Official CALPADS rule

Fields validated: 11.04 Reporting LEA; 11.05 School of Attendance

The school must be valid in CDS and have an active CALPADS reporting relationship with the Reporting LEA.

Recommended correction path

  1. 1

    Verify the school identity

    Confirm the student’s actual school of attendance for the reported year using enrollment history and the California School Directory.

  2. 2

    Confirm reporting structure

    Determine whether the school is district-operated, charter, independently reporting, closed, or represented through another approved relationship.

  3. 3

    Compare fields 11.04 and 11.05

    Check the exact seven-digit values, leading zeros, and the active relationship between Reporting LEA and School of Attendance.

  4. 4

    Correct the authoritative mapping

    Update enrollment/school data or the SCTE extract mapping. Independently reporting charters should follow current official instructions for Reporting LEA and school values.

  5. 5

    Verify across systems

    Post the corrected record, confirm it under the intended school, and reconcile the SIS school code, CALPADS enrollment, and CTE program roster.
