SPED0591F1 Error

Invalid Special Education Program Setting Code

None

Students with Disabilities who are 5 years old and in Kindergarten must have Special Education Program Setting Code Populated and not equal to 201 (Regular Early Childhood), 203 (Separate Class), or 204 (Service Provider Location)

**SPED: **

• 14.04 Reporting LEA,
• 14.08 SSID
• 14.21 Special Education Meeting Date
• 14.24 Education Plan Type Code
• 14.31 Special Education Program Setting

**SINF: **

• 2.18 Birth Date

**SENR: **

• 1.24 Grade Level Code

Understanding the Error:

If a student is 5 or older by June 30th for EOY or Census Day for Fall 1, and in Grade Level greater than or = KN and the most recent SPED record for the same LEA has Education Plan = 100 (IEP) and Meeting Type = 10 (Initial) or 20 (Annual), the Special Education Program Setting Code is not populated or populated with Education Program Setting Code 201 (early childhood setting), 203 (Separate Class), or 204 (Service Provider Location)

Suggested Resolution:

Verify the Education Plan Type Code is correct. Verify the Special Education Program Setting Code is correct. OR If the student is age 5 or older as of June 30th for EOY or Census Day for Fall 1,and in kindergarten or higher, the Special Education Program Setting (and General Education Participation Percentage Range Code) should be populated with an appropriate School age Least Restrictive environment (LRE).

To resolve this error, LEAs should submit a Special Education (SPED) record with the following:

1. Submit an amendment date on the most recent IEP meeting record that overlaps Census Day, with a date that represents the first day of kindergarten for the student for the academic year. For students who enter kindergarten prior to turning 5 the amendment date should represent the student's 5th birthday, not the Kindergarten enrollment start date.

2. Update Field 14.31 – Special Education Program Setting Code with the appropriate program setting for the student’s age and grade level

3. If necessary, update Field 14.23 – General Education Participation Range Code with the appropriate participation range. (This will clear SPED0590F1 if it triggered.)

If the SPED Program Setting Code is updated to 400, 401, 402, 403, or 500, then student age must be at least 5 years or SPED0451F1 will trigger.
