CERT106 Error

Invalid "TBD" English Language Acquisition Status Code



Submission: Fall1
Status: Active
Severity: Warning
Error Type: CVR


ACTIVE DEFECTS:

None

ERROR DESCRIPTION:

If a student with a Primary enrollment has an English Language Acquisition Code = "TBD" and the Student Grade Level Code is not equal to "AD", "IN", "TD", or "PS", then the student must be also have been enrolled for less than 30 days, since the agency has 30 days to test the student out of TBD status.

FIELDS VALIDATED:

  • 12.13 - English Language Acquisition Status Code
  • 12.14 - English Language Acquisition Status Start Date
  • 1.25 - Grade Level Code

SUGGESTED RESOLUTION:

Understanding the Error:

The system is trying to ensure that LEAs update English Language Acquisition Status (ELAS) Codes of "TBD", as this status should only be temporary for students that are not in the following grades: "AD", "IN", "TD", or "PS." If the ELAS Start Date in the most recent ELAS record is greater than or equal to 30 days before the Census Day, this error will trigger.

Things to check in the submission: Look for all students with an ELAS Code of "TBD" whose English Language Acquisition Status Start Date is greater than or equal to 30 days before the Census Date.

NOTE: If a student is enrolled for 30 calendar days or more, they are legally required to be tested with 30 calendar days.

Suggested Resolution:

Update the ELAS Code and Start Date for students who are TBDs and resubmit the file.
