Recommended correction path

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

  • 2.18 Student Birth Date
  • 3.15 Program Membership Start Date

Six questions that resolve this certification finding

QuestionSpecific findingEvidence
What passed?Individual source transactions may have posted successfully.Submission detail and ODS history
What did Fall 1 expect?The authoritative birth date and actual program-entry date form a possible chronology.Census-day snapshot logic
What is inconsistent?Birth date or program start date is wrong, or a conversion/default produced an impossible year.Student-level certification detail
Who owns correction?The program office establishes eligibility or participation; the SIS/program system owns the source record; the CALPADS coordinator verifies SPRG and snapshot inclusion.Authoritative local system and program records
What must change?Correct the documented SINF birth date or SPRG start date.Add, replace, delete, or sequence supported records
What proves resolution?1.0 Certification Errors; 5.1 Program Participants Count; 5.3 Program Participants Student List; applicable Fall 1 program reportRefreshed aggregate and supporting reports

Concrete checks

  • Compare full eight-digit dates.
  • Verify membership start means program entry, not system migration.
  • Check century/year defaults.
  • Confirm same LEA/school census enrollment context.

Recommended correction path

  1. 1

    Identify the exact snapshot row

    Match the student, school, LEA, academic year, and census/snapshot revision implicated by SPRG0076F1.

  2. 2

    Compare the authoritative source

    Use the owning SIS, program, language, enrollment, or special education record. The program office establishes eligibility or participation; the SIS/program system owns the source record; the CALPADS coordinator verifies SPRG and snapshot inclusion.

  3. 3

    Test the complete rule

    Compare full eight-digit dates. Verify membership start means program entry, not system migration. Check century/year defaults. Confirm same LEA/school census enrollment context.

  4. 4

    Choose the supported transaction

    Correct the documented SINF birth date or SPRG start date.

  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; 5.1 Program Participants Count; 5.3 Program Participants Student List; applicable Fall 1 program report. Aggregate and student-level results must agree.
