2. Where the child:
a. is associated with a State Education Agency through the Organization Identifier where Has Organization Identification System = SEA and Has Organization Identifier Type = State Education Agency Identifier

c. is associated with a K12 school through the Organization Identifier where Has Organization Identification System = SEA or LEA or School and Has Organization Identifier Type = School Identifier
d. Has Role = EL Child
