- 12.15 Primary Language Code
Which side is wrong?
| Authoritative finding | ELAS direction | Primary-language direction |
|---|---|---|
| Only English or ASL reported on original HLS | EO may be supported | Use current eng or ase mapping |
| A non-English language was reported | Do not force EO; follow initial-identification rules | Use the supported language code |
| CALPADS already contains EL/IFEP/RFEP | Preserve accurate statewide history | Do not overwrite with an EO default |
| HLS or classification was erroneous | Use authorized correction workflow | Retain evidence and approvals |
EO is not shorthand for “speaks English well.” EL and RFEP students may be fluent English speakers while retaining a non-English primary language and their established ELAS history.
Recommended correction path
- 1
Inspect the raw codes
Verify the export uses current eng or ase values and not a stale local crosswalk.
- 2
Review the original HLS
Determine whether EO was supported at initial identification.
- 3
Read statewide history
Check for existing TBD, EL, IFEP, or RFEP records before changing status.
- 4
Correct with evidence
Repair the language mapping or use the proper ELAS correction process; never make both fields agree by guesswork.
- 5
Audit other EO rows
Sample records from the same SIS rule and confirm CALPADS/TOMS results.
