NEW INTEGRITY RULE: Integrity Rule -40105 

Effective April 21, 2026, a new special education (SPED) data integrity rule will be implemented to validate preschool outcomes assessment scores (COS) reported to AzEDS. Exit scores are currently being pre-emptively reported to AzEDS.  

Integrity Message for -40105: Preschool exit outcomes may not be entered until the last day of the student's program. 

This new integrity rule aims to ensure outcomes assessments are not being entered prematurely. Exit outcomes assessments that have been entered prior to the student’s last day of the reported LRE will cause this integrity rule to fail. Exit scores entered prior to the last day of the LRE will need to be removed and/or republished on or after the last day of the LRE. 

The SPED-Related Integrity Rules tool found on our AzEDS SPED Reporting page has been updated to provide troubleshooting guidance for this integrity rule. Please also refer to the Preschool Outcomes Reporting Guidance document for information about reporting Preschool Outcomes scores.
