or the SIRAS 'Active' Status
Records aren't just made active because something needs to be done with it!
This is very important, the student status needs to mean something as this directly controls the accuracy of your census day search.
As student arrive and leave, we need to curate the active status of these records in a timely manner. This is important in the fall as we want all students who are enrolled as of the first wednesday in October to be active in SIRAS. Then all the students who were active at the beginning of the year but will have left by Census day, must be made Inactive in SIRAS.
Student Status = Active –They are enrolled, eligible and participating.
If a student record has the active status set to Active, it means the person has confirmed the following 3 yes answers.
- Student is eligible already.
- Student is enrolled or about to be enrolled by your LEA at this time.
- Student will be participating with services.

[CALPADS Note] If a student is Active in SIRAS, we expect to see in CALPADS:
- SWDS = 1
- MEET - most recent plan review and re-evaluation meetings.
- PLAN and SERV records with plan effective date overlapping CALPADS SENR enrollment at your district.
Student Status = Pending -- New or returning student. May be a referral, may be awaiting confirmation of participation.
SIRAS records with the pending status are a 'to do' list, we eventually want to make all records either Active or Inactive.
Either we make the record active (See above.) when participation starts, or we make the record inactive when we know there is no more use for the SIRAS record by the IEP team. Depending upon the context of how the participation stopped will determine if anything is reported to CALPADS when the record is has the Student Status set to Inactive.
[CALPADS Note: Unless there is parental consent and no SSID yet, there isn't anything to do in CALPADS until either active or inactive status is determined.]
Student Status = Inactive Student is not participating or possibly referred
If a student is Inactive in SIRAS, then we expect to see in CALPADS nothing or indications the student is not participating, possibly not eligible.
