Data Management Alert 

New Integrity Rule: -40102 

Effective April 28, 2025, a new integrity error has been implemented for SPED data validations in AzEDS. This new integrity error is part of an ongoing effort to ensure clean data during the fiscal year and to avoid corrections of data after the close of the fiscal year. 

Code: -40102  

Message: For each day, a SPED need is reported, an LRE must be reported.  

This rule ensures that a Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) code is reported any time a SPED need has been reported. Missing LREs can cause issues with the ADE systems, funding, and federal reporting. If an LRE has been reported, verify the LRE entry and exit dates are reported on in-session days of the associated calendar. 

The SPED Integrity Error Tool for this rule is linked below:
