SDLA Flowchart: debug the hierarchy from the top

1 · HR, personnel, credentialing, and local systemsConfirm the staff member, employment evidence, SEID, position, site, job classification, FTE, and assignment details in the systems responsible for those facts.
2 · SDEM staff identity and employment history Prerequisite gateThe correct SDEM record must exist and process successfully under the same Reporting LEA and SEID before a dependent assignment can be trusted.
3 · SASS staff assignment — current debugging levelValidate the same SEID plus Academic Year ID, School of Assignment, Staff Job Classification Code, FTE percentage, and any required nonclassroom assignment codes.
4 · CRSE teaching assignmentsFor classroom staff, course sections must connect to a qualifying SASS assignment for the same person, school, and academic year.
5 · SCSE enrollment and Fall 2 reviewOnly after upstream staff and course records are sound should the team reconcile student-section records, reports, and certification results.

One person does not always mean one assignment record

SDEMEstablishes the staff member’s identity and employment history.
SASSOne or more records may describe assignments by school and job classification.
CRSEEach applicable course section connects to the appropriate staff assignment.
SCSEEach student-course enrollment connects downstream to the section.

Illustrative principle: a principal who also teaches may require more than one SASS job classification. Do not create duplicate SASS rows with the same primary-key combination.

Recommended correction path

  1. 1

    Clear the SDEM prerequisite gate

    Confirm the accepted SDEM identity, SEID, employment coverage, and Reporting LEA.

  2. 2

    Confirm the broad job classification

    Use authorized HR/personnel evidence to verify Staff Job Classification Code before changing the detailed assignment.

  3. 3

    Identify the work actually performed

    Coordinate with the supervisor, department leadership, HR, or site leadership to select each supported assignment code.

  4. 4

    Validate the combination and order

    Use current code-combination rules; enter distinct assignment codes sequentially beginning with field 8.15.

  5. 5

    Correct the responsible source

    Update the HR, SIS, integration, or extract mapping that supplies the classification and assignment details.

  6. 6

    Reprocess and reconcile

    Confirm SASS acceptance, review Report 4.5, and check other staff created by the same mapping.

  • Confirm the accepted SASS record under the intended academic year, school, and job classification.
  • Reconcile applicable CRSE records and Fall 2 staff reports after the upstream correction.
  • Check other staff records created by the same HR, SIS, integration, or extract rule.
