NEW INTEGRITY RULE: Integrity Rule -40104
As of March 30, 2026, a new special education (SPED) data integrity rule was implemented to validate and capture student exits from SPED services. Under IDEA, students are eligible for SPED services through 21 years of age unless they have graduated with a regular high school diploma. Students who turn 22 years of age during the school year are eligible to complete the year with services; however, they have effectively reached the maximum age allowable for services.
Integrity Message for -40104: Students may not have an exit reason School Is Out when they are over 22 years of age by June 30. Please adjust to exit reason Reached Maximum Age.
This new integrity rule aims to better capture students who are aging out of IDEA eligibility at the end of the reporting year.
The SPED-Related Integrity Rules tool found on our AzEDS SPED Reporting page has been updated to provide troubleshooting guidance for this integrity failure. Please also refer to the SPED Exit validation matrix for allowable SPED and enrollment exit code combinations.
