Fields and records evaluated

  • 8.05 School of Assignment
  • 8.13 Staff Job Classification Code 26

Recommended correction path

  1. 1

    Locate the exact SASS row

    Capture Reporting LEA, School of Assignment, Academic Year, masked SEID, Job Classification, FTE, and all seven support-assignment fields.

  2. 2

    Confirm the educator and organization

    Match the SASS row to accepted SDEM history, HR/position-control evidence, the official school/LEA code, and the actual assignment.

  3. 3

    Test the exact rule

    • Verify the school’s current charter status in the California School Directory.
    • Confirm the exact 14-digit CDS code.
    • Review whether teacher code 12 or another classification is appropriate.
    • Do not infer non-certificated status merely because credential information is missing locally.
  4. 4

    Find the first divergence

    Inspect HR, position control, SIS scheduling, local code crosswalks, joins, and export calculations. Do not treat a job title as a CALPADS classification without checking duties.

  5. 5

    Make the supported correction

    Correct the school or job classification from authoritative charter, credential, and assignment evidence.

  6. 6

    Regenerate and reconcile

    Confirm SASS acceptance, inspect Staff Profile Report 4.4 and Staff Nonclassroom Based or Support Assignment Detail Report 4.5, and reconcile affected CRSE sections and other staff produced by the same mapping.
