What this assignment error means
CALPADS compares official school open/closed dates with the SASS Academic Year. A current school code may be wrong historically, and a closed school may still have been valid in an earlier year.
Valid, invalid, and unsafe responses
| Situation | Value or condition | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| Valid | Official open period overlaps the Academic Year | School and reporting year align. |
| Invalid | School opened after the reported year | Use the historical assignment school or correct the year. |
| Invalid | School closed before the reported year | Identify the successor/current assignment. |
| Unsafe shortcut | Replace a historically valid closed school with today’s school | Preserve historical truth. |

Recommended correction path
- 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
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
Test the exact rule
- Resolve the exact CDS code and official open/closed dates.
- Verify the Academic Year ID and assignment evidence.
- Investigate school reorganizations, mergers, renumbering, and successor schools.
- Confirm whether the assignment belongs at school or LEA level.
- 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
Make the supported correction
Correct the evidence-supported School of Assignment or Academic Year. Do not rewrite a historically valid assignment because the school later closed.
- 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.
