Suggested resolution

Understanding the Error: If Postsecondary Status Code is not equal to 950 or 960, then all other records for the same Education Program Participation Type, SSID, and LEA cannot have Postsecondary Status Code equal 950 or 960. Suggested Resolution: 1) Verify the Postsecondary Status Code is populated correctly. OR 2) If a previous PSTS record was reported to CALPADS for a student with a Postsecondary Status Code not equaled to 950 (Not able to contact) or 960 (Refused to answer), then subsequent PSTS should not be sent to CALPADS. Fall 2: CDD will only trigger where Education Program Participation Type Code = 20 and PSTS Academic Year is the current Academic Year
