Core Terms - returning "odd" results

I successfully made a call to the endpoint for terms, and got data back but several rows had “odd” results. Example:

Most records look like this:

{"id": 38686, "begin_date": "2023-08-01T00:00:00-04:00", "description": "Fall Season", "end_date": "2024-07-31T00:00:00-04:00", "level_description": "Entire School", "level_id": 517, "offering_type": 9, "school_year_label": "2023-2024"}

but then some weird records appear as well. Here the description is missing altogether and the id is a weird number.

{"id": -2147483648, "begin_date": "0001-01-01T00:00:00-05:00", "end_date": "0001-01-01T00:00:00-05:00", "level_description": "Lower School", "level_id": 455, "offering_type": 11, "school_year_label": "2023-2024"}

Is this expected behavior or a possible bug?

Data comes from the Testing Cohort not my live data (I am not ready to do that yet)

Thanks for any insights.

    The record in question has an offering type of 11, which is Community Groups. Community don't require a term like other offerings, such as classes or activities. So, while odd, it should not present a problem. I will look into this particular test database to see if there is more to it and get back to you.
