The upload date does not determine field 22.05. Derive the year from the Status Effective Start Date.

Recommended correction path

  1. 1

    Preserve the rejected row

    Capture submission ID, row number, Reporting LEA, SSID, Reporting SELPA, status date, status and reason.

  2. 2

    Identify the exact failed field or relationship

    Inspect the raw 13-column row before spreadsheet conversion or manual editing.

  3. 3

    Reconcile enrollment and identity

    Confirm SENR ownership, SSID, LEA and the student’s effective-dated special education history.

  4. 4

    Verify the authoritative source

    Use the special education system, eligibility documentation, enrollment history and current code definitions.

  5. 5

    Correct the source and mapping

    Repair the supported value or relationship in the originating system; never patch only the finished upload when the source remains wrong.

  6. 6

    Resubmit and inspect history

    Confirm acceptance and review neighboring SWDS, MEET and PLAN records for chronology or duplication effects.

Retained official CALPADS guidance

Confirm the value for the Academic Year reflects a consecutive two-year time span, with a format of CCYY-CCYY (e.g., 2019-2020).
