Recommended correction path

  1. 1

    Identify the exact snapshot row

    Match the student, school, LEA, academic year, and census/snapshot revision implicated by SENR0519F1.

  2. 2

    Compare the authoritative source

    Use the owning SIS, program, language, enrollment, or special education record. Special education program staff and the SEDS own SWDS/PLAN/MEET facts; enrollment staff own SENR; the CALPADS/SELPA reporting process reconciles effective histories.

  3. 3

    Test the complete rule

    Verify the actual credential earned. Confirm Enrollment Exit Date falls in the reporting window. Review SWDS status at the same Reporting LEA on that date. Check SSID and effective-date alignment.

  4. 4

    Choose the supported transaction

    Correct the completion code or establish the supported SWDS history; never create eligibility solely to support a credential code.

  5. 5

    Correct the source and resubmit

    Repair the authoritative record or extract mapping so the next submission will not recreate the discrepancy. Allow all dependent transactions to post in chronological order.

  6. 6

    Regenerate and reconcile

    Refresh the Fall 1 snapshot, confirm the error clears, and reconcile 1.0 Certification Errors; 16.12 Education Plan by Primary Disability; 16.14 Plan Student List; 16.15 Service Count; 16.16 Service Student List; 16.17 Annual Comparison. Aggregate and student-level results must agree.
