MA Reported Assignments
Misassignments, Vacancies, Corrected Misassignments and Short Term Waivers that are identified outside of CalSAAS processing can be recorded in the system by a monitoring authority using the MA Reported feature.
What types of assignments should be reported using the MA Reported feature?
Assignment Monitoring in CalSAAS is based on a snapshot in time, being census date. Therefore, any Misassignments, Corrected Misassignments or Vacancies that occurred on census date and were not already identified in the system are required to be reported using this process. Misassignments, Corrected Misassignments, or Vacancies that occurred before or after census date may be reported using the MA Reported feature, at the discretion of the monitoring authority.
Pursuant to Title 5 §80123 Short Term Waivers must be reported for the entirety of the school year being monitored.
