What this error actually means

The academic year identifies the reporting period; it is not a calendar year, fiscal year, or graduation year. Its format and relationship to the SDEM effective period must both be valid.

Valid versus invalid

ExampleSubmitted value or conditionInterpretation
Valid pattern2026-27Consecutive school years in the required representation.
Invalid2026Only one calendar year.
Invalid2026-28Years are not consecutive.

Fields validated

  • 7.07 Academic Year ID

Recommended correction path

  1. 1

    Open the rejected submission detail

    Locate the exact physical row, field number, submitted value, Reporting LEA, SEID, Academic Year, and effective dates.

  2. 2

    Read the raw exported value

    Do not rely only on the formatted HR or SIS screen. Inspect spaces, delimiters, zero padding, dates, and local code translations.

  3. 3

    Test this rule

    • Confirm the intended Fall 2 reporting year.
    • Verify the exact Academic Year ID format used by the current layout.
    • Check file-generation parameters and filename/context.
    • Then verify effective start/end dates fall within that year.
  4. 4

    Confirm correction authority

    HR/personnel staff own authoritative employment and demographic facts; technical staff own mappings and export behavior; the CALPADS operator verifies the submitted representation. Protect confidential personnel data throughout the review.

  5. 5

    Correct the responsible source

    Correct the export’s reporting-year parameter or the row’s academic year. Do not move valid staff events into another year simply to clear the validation.

  6. 6

    Resubmit and reconcile downstream records

    Confirm the row posts under the intended SEID and Reporting LEA. Review Staff Profile Report 4.4 and relevant Reports 4.1–4.5; then check whether the same mapping affected other staff, SASS assignments, or CRSE sections.
