SWDS Student with disabilities status file
SIRAS In/Active Status is SWDS (PPT in Padlet link)
- Once a SWDS record has been set in CALPADS, it stays. (Assuming it's correct!)
- Changes in status are reflected by new SWDS records
- They are created automatically if the entire IEP process is being recorded in SIRAS.
- For incoming records where SIRAS is not updated, get existing or new record created to reflect the incoming plan.
- We can use plan adoption archives to send SWDS = 1 as of district enrollment date.
- If we see SWDS 1 in CALPADS, we assume the record has active status = active in SIRAS
- If we see SWDS 2,3 or 4 in CALPADS, we assume the record has active status = inactive in SIRAS or pending if staff need to hold a meeting, just don't remove the inactive data when making the record pending.
- We don't edit the exiting archives with the older date and status. The data needs to be left alone.
- The report status of a plan adoption archive set to SWDS Only will send SWDS 1 effective as of district enrollment date.
- Make sure report event date matches district enrollment date.
