Recommended correction path

  1. 1

    Identify the exact snapshot row

    Match the student, school, LEA, academic year, and census/snapshot revision implicated by SENR0644F1.

  2. 2

    Compare the authoritative source

    Use the owning SIS, program, language, enrollment, or special education record. English learner program staff establish ELAS and LIP facts; the SIS/EL system owns source values; the CALPADS coordinator reconciles SELA, SPRG, and SENR.

  3. 3

    Test the complete rule

    Verify the student is EL on census day. Confirm the qualifying enrollment and school. Determine the actual instructional model, including code 307 when applicable. Align SPRG membership dates with the service context.

  4. 4

    Choose the supported transaction

    Submit the supported LIP record or correct the inaccurate SELA/SENR context.

  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; 2.8 ELAS Count by Primary Language; 2.9 ELAS Census Comparison; 2.10 ELAS Census Comparison Student List; 2.14/2.15 Language Instruction Program reports. Aggregate and student-level results must agree.
