SDLA Flowchart: debug the reporting chain from the top

1 - Instructional reality and authoritative local sourcesConfirm the real course, staff, section, term, delivery model, and program context with the people responsible for those facts.
2 - SDEM identity prerequisiteEvery reported educator must have the correct accepted staff identity and employment history.
3 - SASS assignment prerequisiteConfirm the supported staff assignment at the applicable school and academic year before debugging CRSE repeatedly.
4 - CRSE course-section relationshipValidate the named fields, identifiers, code combinations, and local-to-state course mapping.
5 - SCSE and Fall 2 reviewConfirm student-section connections and reconcile course, staff-assignment, and program reports.

Recommended correction path

  1. 1

    Start with the local course

    Identify the exact catalog entry, school, term, section, and state-course mapping that produced the error.

  2. 2

    Confirm what is taught

    Ask curriculum leadership, the department chair, scheduler, and teacher to verify content, grade span, and instructional level.

  3. 3

    Check the current state-course code

    Use the current code set and valid-code combinations, not a copied prior-year crosswalk.

  4. 4

    Review connected attributes

    Validate standards, subcategory, CTE, AP/IB, language, online, and middle-school indicators as applicable.

  5. 5

    Repair the catalog crosswalk

    Correct the authoritative course definition or extract mapping.

  6. 6

    Regenerate and reconcile

    Retest every section using that catalog entry and inspect downstream SCSE results.

2026-27 Fall 2 calendar

Certification deadline. Fall 2 has no amendment window.

Before closing the correction

  • Confirm the authoritative local source supports the corrected values.
  • Confirm accepted SDEM and SASS prerequisites for every reported educator.
  • Review CRSE acceptance and related SCSE, staff-assignment, and course reports.
  • Check other records produced by the same course-catalog or extract rule.
