Special education records to check
The table identifies related records. Use their effective dates to establish what happened for this student. After parental consent, CDE recommends reporting a pending initial evaluation in MEET. A referral alone does not establish SWDS eligibility or participation. CDE special education reporting FAQ.
| Record or snapshot | Record family | What it establishes | This page |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enrollment | SENR 1.xx | Where and when the student is enrolled | Rule focus |
| SWDS status | SWDS 22.xx | Eligibility and participation over time | Confirm relationship and date |
| MEET | MEET 24.xx | Referral, evaluation, meeting, or pending event | Confirm relationship and date |
| PLAN | PLAN 23.xx | The operative IEP, IFSP, ISP, setting, and plan facts | Confirm relationship and date |
| SERV | SERV 25.xx | Services reported under the plan | Confirm relationship and date |
| Fall 1 snapshot | Certification | The relationships effective for the reporting rule | Confirm relationship and date |
Do not equate “reported by a COE” with “accountable to the COE”
| Census enrollment context | COE DSEA | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Juvenile court school | Expected under PLAN0729F1 | Use the responsible COE county-district code. |
| County community school | May be allowed by the applicable rule | Verify school classification and accountability. |
| COE-authorized charter outside a charter SELPA | May qualify | Verify the charter authorizer and SELPA membership for the reporting period. |
| Other COE-reported school | Generally not allowed by PLAN0732F1 | Identify the district actually accountable for special education. |

Six questions that resolve this certification finding
| Question | Specific finding | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| What passed? | Individual transactions may have posted successfully. | Submission detail and ODS history |
| What did Fall 1 expect? | DSEA reflects the organization actually accountable for special education—not automatically the COE merely because the COE reports the enrollment. | Snapshot relationship logic |
| What is inconsistent? | The COE was copied into DSEA for an ineligible school context, or the school classification/enrollment selected by the snapshot is wrong. | Student-level certification detail |
| Who owns correction? | Special education staff and the SEDS own PLAN, SWDS, MEET, and SERV facts; enrollment staff and the SIS own SENR; CALPADS and SELPA staff reconcile identifiers, organizations, and effective dates. | SIS, SEDS, and authoritative records |
| What must change? | Identify the accountable district and correct PLAN 23.10, or correct the school/enrollment classification if the student really attends a qualifying county community school, juvenile court school, or COE-authorized charter outside a charter SELPA. | Supported source transaction |
| What proves resolution? | 1.0 Certification Errors; 16.12 Students with Disabilities Education Plan by Primary Disability; 16.14 Students with Disabilities Plan Student List; 16.17 Students with Disabilities Annual Comparison; applicable county, SELPA, and accountability reports | Refreshed snapshot and student support |
Recommended correction path
- 1
Locate the exact certification row
Match the SSID, Reporting LEA/SELPA, school, operative dates, and snapshot revision identified by PLAN0732F1.
- 2
Build one effective-date timeline
Place SENR, SWDS, MEET, PLAN, and SERV records in chronological order. A present record can still be outside the required reporting window.
- 3
Verify the trigger
- Identify the exact Census Day school and official school type.
- Separate Reporting LEA from DSEA.
- Verify whether a narrow COE-accountability exception actually applies.
- Use the accountable LEA’s seven-digit county-district code.
- 4
Reconcile with authoritative evidence
Compare SIS, SEDS, signed plan/meeting documents, organization directories, and CALPADS ODS history. Special education staff and the SEDS own PLAN, SWDS, MEET, and SERV facts; enrollment staff and the SIS own SENR; CALPADS and SELPA staff reconcile identifiers, organizations, and effective dates.
- 5
Make the supported correction
Identify the accountable district and correct PLAN 23.10, or correct the school/enrollment classification if the student really attends a qualifying county community school, juvenile court school, or COE-authorized charter outside a charter SELPA. Repair the owning source/export so the discrepancy is not recreated.
- 6
Regenerate and reconcile
Regenerate Fall 1, verify PLAN0732F1 clears, and reconcile 1.0 Certification Errors; 16.12 Students with Disabilities Education Plan by Primary Disability; 16.14 Students with Disabilities Plan Student List; 16.17 Students with Disabilities Annual Comparison; applicable county, SELPA, and accountability reports. Aggregate and student-level histories must agree.
