Recommended correction path

Suggested resolution

What this assignment error means

The order does not rank duties; it provides a compact list. CALPADS rejects gaps because a populated later field cannot skip an earlier available position.

Fields and records evaluated

  • 8.15–8.21 Nonclassroom Based or Support Assignment Codes 1–7

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

    • Inspect all seven fields in the raw exported row.
    • Shift supported codes left to remove gaps without changing their values.
    • Check null placeholders and hidden spaces.
    • Then test for duplicate codes and valid job-classification combinations.
  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

    Pack the supported distinct assignment codes into fields 8.15 forward in uninterrupted sequence.

  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.
