CAASPP TOMS Test Settings Returns 403 "Not Associated with Specified LEA or School" When Identifier Fields Contain Non-CDS Values
When a district submits or deletes CAASPP test settings through Aeries, TOMS returns the error "This student is not associated with the specified LEA or school" if the district has a non-CDS value in the "Public CDS or Unique District Identifier" field on the Schools page under Security for External Connections. Aeries sends the value in that field to TOMS as the district identifier, so when the field contains something other than the district CDS code, TOMS cannot match the student and rejects the update, even though the student is correctly enrolled in CALPADS and appears in TOMS with the right school. In this case the field contained a district-to-district communications identifier rather than a CDS code, so that value was being sent to TOMS instead of the real CDS. Aeries will be updated so the TOMS Test Settings feature always uses the district CDS code from the school records rather than the Unique District Identifier field.
