Suggested resolution

Certification lens

This rule is evaluated from the Fall 1 snapshot and related ODS histories. A record can pass transactional validation and still fail when CALPADS compares the student, dates, school, program, language status, demographics, or special education relationships effective for certification.

Fields and records evaluated

  • 1.23 Enrollment Status
  • 1.24 Grade Level
  • 2.36 Student Initial U.S. School Enrollment Date K–12
  • 12.13 ELAS Code

Concrete checks

  • Use first TK–12 entry in a public, private, or home school in a U.S. state or Puerto Rico.
  • Do not use preschool entry.
  • Do not substitute U.S. arrival or immigration date.
  • Ensure the corrected SINF overlaps census day.

Recommended correction path

  1. 1

    Identify the exact snapshot row

    Match the student, school, LEA, academic year, and census/snapshot revision implicated by SENR0656F1.

  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

    Use first TK–12 entry in a public, private, or home school in a U.S. state or Puerto Rico. Do not use preschool entry. Do not substitute U.S. arrival or immigration date. Ensure the corrected SINF overlaps census day.

  4. 4

    Choose the supported transaction

    Populate supported 2.36 information through SINF 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.
