Suggested resolution

Why this matters

Fall 2 course-section reporting follows its eligible-school population. A preschool CDS may result from a school-selection error, a shared-campus mapping, or a district-level program using the wrong delivery organization.

Recommended correction path

  1. 1

    Freeze the evidence

    Capture submission ID, physical row, School, Academic Year, Term, Local Course ID, Course Section ID, Class ID, masked SEID, and the named fields.

  2. 2

    Match the authoritative section

    Compare the master schedule, course catalog, teacher assignment, delivery school, and accepted SDEM/SASS prerequisites.

  3. 3

    Test the exact rule

    • Resolve the CDS code and official school type.
    • Confirm where instruction was delivered and which organization owns the section.
    • Distinguish shared campus, program location, and reportable school.
    • Verify whether the section belongs in Fall 2 CRSE at all.
  4. 4

    Find the first divergence

    Inspect SIS configuration, course crosswalks, joins, delimiters, Version 18 export behavior, and CALPADS organizational context.

  5. 5

    Make the supported correction

    Use the supported eligible delivery school/LEA context or remove a section outside the CRSE reporting population.

  6. 6

    Resubmit and reconcile

    Confirm GERR0010 clears, review Report 3.7 Course Section Enrollment and Report 4.3 Staff Teaching Assignments, and audit other sections produced by the same rule.
