SIRAS District Enrollment = The most recent date of new enrollment at the student's district.
- When students leave and then return to the district, the date should be updated.
The District Enrollment Date in SIRAS is important for validations and to make sure dates aren't reported outside of an active enrollment period.
For CALPADS specifically the following dates will always be required to be at least equal to or greater than the District Enrollment Date.
- Plan Effective Date on a PLAN record needs to be 'overlapping' CALPADS enrollment.
- Special Ed Status Effective Date on a SWDS record needs to be 'overlapping' CALPADS enrollment.
When we need to change SWDS 2 or 3 to be SWDS 1 (Not Participating to Participating), because of participation starting after new enrollment, then it is important to update district enrollment date on the MIS Summary page.
- The District Enrollment Date is found on the MIS Summary page under LEA Identification at the bottom of the box. See screenshot below.
Exception:
- DRDP: If a student arrives after a DRDP cut off date like 11/1 or 4/1, ensuring to have the district enrollment on the MIS Summary page will allow SIRAS to not include the record on the DRDP Eligible list when they started participating after the cut off date.
