Invalid Change In English Language Acquisition Status Code
SeverityError Description
If a student's English Language Acquisition Status (ELAS) Code is being submitted--- then the most recent ELAS Code currently stored in the CALPADS ODS must be a valid ELAS in combination with the subsequent ELAS being submitted. Reference (Valid Code Combos--- Current ELAS-Submtd ELAS)
Suggested Resolution
Understanding the Error:
The SELA record submitted contains an English Language Acquisition Status Code that is not valid based on the most recent English Language Acquisition Status Code in the ODS. Things to check for in submission: Ensure the correct value for English Language Acquisition Status Code is provided in the submitted record based on the logical sequence that is allowable.
See http://www.cde.ca.gov/ds/sp/cl/systemdocs.asp for the "CALPADS Valid Code Combinations" document.
Suggested Resolution: If the English Language Acquisition Status (ELAS) code is incorrectly populated and you intend to make a change to an existing record--- then submit the information as a change.
| Valid Code Value | Name | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| EL | English Learner | A student in kindergarten through grade 12 for whom there is a report of a language other than English on the Home Language Survey and who, upon initial assessment in California using an appropriate state assessment (currently the California English Language Development Test (CELDT)) and from additional information when appropriate, is determined to lack the clearly defined English language skills of listening, speaking, reading, and/or writing necessary to succeed in the school's regular instructional programs. |

| RFEP | Reclassified Fluent English Proficient | A student in kindergarten through grade 12 who, upon entering public school in California, is identified as an English learner (EL) and subsequently reclassified/redesignated in California, per Education Code 313, as proficient in English.

| TBD | To Be Determined | A student in kindergarten through grade 12 for whom there is a report of a primary language other than English on the Home Language Survey and for whom the district has not completed the assessment process.
