Validation

Placement determination error: go back to the PLRE page, Check Out, click the Save button, and Check In. eSER needs to reconfirm the selections, even if everything was correctly filled out the first time.
Gifted / Talented
An Individual Graduation Plan (IGP) is required for 9-12 grade Gifted/Talented students. They can be uploaded in the Supporting Documentation subsection. IEPs without this may receive a validation error.
