SELA0164

Focus fields: ELAS Code (12.13) and ELAS Start Date (12.14)

Recommended correction path

1. 1

   Confirm the status is intentional

   Compare the submitted ELAS code with the Home Language Survey, prior CALPADS history, Initial ELPAC result, or reclassification documentation. Do not invent a date merely to pass validation.

2. 2

   Find the authoritative effective date

   For TBD, use the date required by current CALPADS guidance for the student’s initial identification workflow. For EL or IFEP, verify the Initial ELPAC-derived record; for RFEP, use the approved reclassification effective date; for EO, verify the original status documentation.

3. 3

   Review the complete ODS history

   Open Student English Language Acquisition Details and make sure this is a missing date—not an attempt to recreate a status already stored under another reporting LEA.

4. 4

   Correct the source and resubmit

   Populate field 12.14 in the SIS or export process, regenerate the SELA record, and submit it. If the status itself is wrong, correct both fields together.

5. 5

   Verify the downstream result

   Confirm the record posts in CALPADS, the current ELAS and start date are correct, and—when testing eligibility is involved—the expected status reaches TOMS after the normal exchange cycle.
