Rule and fields to check

Severity: Fatal   Type: Input Validation

  • 19.08 Local Student ID
  • 19.13 Incident ID Local

Basic resolution

  1. 1

    Confirm the intended record

    Match the student, school, academic year, Incident ID Local, and Reporting LEA to the source discipline record.

  2. 2

    Check the failed rule

    Compare every validated field below with the current file specifications, code sets, enrollment history, and organization relationships.

  3. 3

    Correct the source dependency

    Repair the authoritative SIS value, enrollment record, organization setting, code mapping, or duplicate—not merely the rejected upload row.

  4. 4

    Resubmit and verify

    Upload a scoped correction and confirm that the intended SIRS record appears once under the correct student and incident.

Before closing the correction

  • Confirm the accepted SIRS record under the intended student and Incident ID Local.
  • Reconcile the related SINC parent and any applicable SOFF records.
  • Check whether the same source value or mapping affected other incidents.
