Recommended correction path

  1. 1

    Identify the reporting cycle

    Determine whether this is Fall 2 CPA/CTE or EOY Special Education reporting.

  2. 2

    Validate the CCYY-CCYY value

    Confirm a consecutive two-year span and no more than one year in the future.

  3. 3

    Separate reporting year from exit year

    PSTS reports an outcome in the current year using qualifying prior-year evidence.

  4. 4

    Compare all prerequisite records

    Match prior-year SENR, completion, CTE/CPA, or SPED evidence.

  5. 5

    Correct rollover or extract logic

    Repair the configured year rather than editing one row.

  6. 6

    Regenerate and reconcile

    Review the complete expected follow-up population.
