The status pathway
| Path | Date represents | Primary evidence |
|---|---|---|
| TBD → EO | Effective initial English Only determination | Home Language Survey and applicable process |
| TBD → IFEP | Initial fluent determination | Initial ELPAC/Alternate ELPAC result |
| TBD → EL | Initial English Learner determination | Initial assessment result |
| EL → RFEP | Approved reclassification date | All local/state reclassification criteria and approval |
The missing date is not the upload date. It belongs to the event that established the status. Do not use today, the first day of school, or the student’s transfer date unless current guidance and evidence make that the true effective date.
Recommended correction path
- 1
Confirm the code is intentional
Compare it with the Home Language Survey, assessment results, reclassification documentation, and prior CALPADS history.
- 2
Identify the status event
Determine whether this is initial TBD/EO/IFEP/EL reporting, RFEP reclassification, ADEL, or an authorized correction.
- 3
Recover the authoritative date
Use the event-specific source and retain an existing statewide date when the same status is already stored accurately.
- 4
Check enrollment and sequence
Confirm ownership and ensure the new event follows prior history.
- 5
Correct and monitor
Repair the SIS/export, submit, and verify CALPADS-to-TOMS consequences where applicable.
