Recommended correction path

  1. 1

    Freeze the evidence before editing

    Capture the CALPADS submission, rejected row, current ODS SWDS history, local special-education record, SENR history, and relevant meeting/plan documents.

  2. 2

    Confirm the student and ownership

    Match SSID, Reporting LEA, Reporting SELPA, local special-education ID, enrollment status, and enrollment dates. Resolve identity before interpreting status.

  3. 3

    Build a dated student timeline

    Place enrollment, referral/evaluation, determination, initial entry, status changes, meetings, plans, amendments, services, transfers, and exits in chronological order.

  4. 4

    Identify the authoritative event

    Determine which signed meeting outcome, eligibility decision, consent/non-consent event, transfer fact, or exit event supports the value being reported.

  5. 5

    Inspect the four-file chain

    Compare SWDS with related MEET, PLAN, and SERV records and their effective dates. Identify missing precursors and conflicting successors.

  6. 6

    Coordinate the responsible team

    Include the case manager, school psychologist or assessment lead, special-education administrator, registrar, CALPADS/SELPA data staff, and system owner as applicable.

  7. 7

    Correct the system of record

    Change the authoritative special-education or enrollment record first, then regenerate the affected CALPADS files. Avoid a one-off upload edit that will be overwritten.

  8. 8

    Post in dependency-aware order

    Ensure qualifying SENR ownership exists; post the supported SWDS status history; then post or reconcile dependent MEET, PLAN, and SERV records for the scenario.

  9. 9

    Verify CALPADS history and reports

    Inspect the student’s ODS containers and Reports 16.12, 16.14, 16.22, and 16.23. Confirm the immediate previous and next effective records.

  10. 10

    Check the affected population

    Find other students produced by the same local code, date rule, workflow, vendor mapping, or transfer process; document the correction and prevention owner.
