ERROR DESCRIPTION
If Placement Type equals “2”, “3”, or “4” (Nonpublic Placement), then for students age 6 to 21 the Special Education Setting must equal “5” (Separate School), “7” (Residential Facility), or “14” (Private School or Exempt (Home) School). For students age 3 to 5, all Settings apply except “8” (Home). The student’s age is figured as of their SPED exit date (if available), or as of the last day of school (if the student is not confirmed to be receiving services during the summer), or otherwise as of today’s date.
