Object Triggering Logic

This table describes logic for triggering syncing of this object.

ActionTrigger
Post

Reports when a Behavior Resolution is added to an incident that is marked as Complete and is aligned to a reported Behavior Event.

  • Only report when role is mapped to the Ed-Fi Value: Perpetrator.
  • There is a resolution that is mapped to an Ed-Fi Value.

  • Do not send if the student's enrollment is marked with any of the following:

    • No Show
    • State Exclude
    • WISE Exclude
    • Parent Placement Pri. School = Yes
    • School Override set to a different School from enrollment school
  • Do not send if the calendar is marked Summer School.
  • Do not send if the calendar is marked as Exclude.
  • Do not send if the student is in a School marked as Exclude.
  • Only send a record if the Ed-Fi Config profile = Public.
  • Students with an active AND Locked IEP that overlaps the resolution start date AND Resolution in ISS, OS, EX, or ES (Ed-Fi codes 02, 03, 04).
  • IEP Print Format should start with WI IEP OR WI Imported Plan.
  • Students with NO active AND Locked IEP Must have a Resolution in OS, EX, or ES (Ed-Fi codes 02, 03, 04).
  • Only send a record if the students State Enrollment Type = Primary.
  • Report a separate record for each qualifying Resolution, even if they are attached to the same Student/ Participant.
  • Do not send a record for students who do not have an active locked IEP that overlaps the date of the incident and resolution AND the SPED Exit Date on enrollment is NULL or after the date of incident when they have a mapped discipline action (behavior resolution) <> OS, EX, or ES (Ed-Fi codes 02, 03, 04).
    1. If the Resolution is mapped to IS: In-School Suspension, only report if the student has a locked IEP that overlaps the date of the Incident AND the SPED Exit Date on enrollment is NULL or after the date of the incident.
    2. If SPED Exit Date on enrollment is after the enrollment start date and on or before the date of the incident, do not report.
  • Report any students who have any type of expulsion, which are codes 04 and 03.
PutWhen any field not part of the Natural Key is changed.
Delete/Post

When data that is part of the Natural Key is changed.

  • If the resolution date is changed do a delete and post.
DeleteWhen the student's enrollment is no longer reportable; marked
  1. No Show
  2. State Exclude
  3. WISE Exclude
  4. Parent Placement Pri. School = Yes
  5. School Override set to a different School from enrollment school
  6. State Enrollment type is changed to not = Primary
DeleteWhen the participants are removed or Role is changed so there is no longer a perpetrator.
DeleteIf the Discipline Action is deleted or modified so it is no longer eligible to report.
DeleteWhen the student's Student School Association is deleted.
Delete/Post

When the Incident's status is changed.

  • Delete when the status is changed from Completed to In Progress.
  • Post when the status is changed from In Progress to Completed.

School Exclude, Calendar Exclude, Resource Toggle and Resync Logic

This table describes the School Exclude, Calendar Exclude, Resource Toggle and Resync logic of this object.

ActionTrigger
NoneIf a resource is toggled to 'OFF' after data has sent, all sent data will remain in the ODS but no new data will send.
ResyncIf a record is in the Ed-Fi Identity Mapping table and not in the ODS, it will be deleted from the Ed-Fi Identity Mapping table.
ResyncIf a record is in the ODS and it does not have a matching record in Campus or the Ed-Fi Identity Mapping table, it will be deleted from the ODS.
ResyncIf a mapping is changed in Resource Preferences, a resync will need to be done to reflect the changes.

Natural Key Changes, Cascading Updates, and Deletes Logic

This table describes the Natural Key Changes/Cascading Updates and Deletes logic of this object.

ActionTrigger
Post/Delete

Natural Key changes:

  • If an Ed-Fi ID changes, this will happen with the cascading deletes from the Ed-Fi ID Change trigger.
  • If the Discipline Date changes.

Scope Year Logic

This table describes scope year logic of this object.

Logic

Discipline records will only send to the school year they are aligned to.

Data will only send for the years that have valid configuration.

disciplineAction
Length

The length of time in school days for the Discipline Action (e.g. removal, detention), if applicable. We must gather information to the 1/2 day. School days removed should be submitted in half-day increments. Do not count removals for less than 1/2 of a school day. For any removal of 1/2 school day in length or longer, round up to the nearest 1/2 day increment. For example, removals of 1/3 day would not be counted, 2/3 day would round up to 1.0, 1.2 days would round up to 1.5 days, etc. Under rare circumstances, zero may be valid for an expulsion.
Do not count removals for less than 1/2 of a school day.' Expulsions may have length of 0 or greater. All other disciplines must have 0.5 or greater; do not round up to 0.5 for these other disciplines.

  1. If the Resolution type is NOT mapped to EX (Expulsion) or ES (Expulsion with Services):
    • Report the Duration in School Days.
    • If Duration is 0 or NULL or less than .5 days, do NOT generate a Discipline Actions record from this Resolution.
    • If Duration is greater than .5 days, round to the nearest .5 day.  Example:  2/3 day would be 1, 1.2 days would be 1.5 days.
  2. If Resolution Type is Expulsion (EX) or Expulsion with Services (ES):
    • Check if Resolution End Date is after the Calendar End Date.
    • Check if a Return Date is entered.
      • If return date is entered, calculate the length. See Appendix A for calculation.
      • Otherwise, report the Duration in School Days.
    • Note: 0 length DOES report for these resolution types.
  3. Report to 1 digit beyond the decimal. Decimal may be .0 or .5 only.

Discipline Descriptor

In-School Suspension- Non-disabled student given in-school suspension. Discipline information for this student should not be submitted to WISEdata.
IAES Removals - IAES by School Personnel and IAES by Hearing Officer are given only to disabled students, therefor we should never receive IAES removals for students who are not disabled.
Note: Only submit out of school suspension and expulsion data for non disabled students.


Ed-Fi allows one to many relationships. This is being modified to allow only 1 per discipline action. For ed facts reporting we must gather the following elements for each and every discipline (removal): discipline action length, action length difference, and for expulsion the set of extended fields. Expulsion and Expulsion with Services are separate Ed-Fi types, so this single element gathers removal type and services provided during expulsion.


Multiple diciplineActions can be submitted for the same student associated to one disciplineIncident by submitting different disciplineIdentifier.

Discipline Descriptor

Ed-Fi Code ValueEd-Fi DescriptionName SpaceEd-Fi Short Description
01An "in-school suspension" is an instance where a student is temporarily removed from his/her regular classroom(s) for disciplinary purposes but remains under the direct supervision of school personnel. Direct supervision means school personnel are physically in the same location as the student under their supervision. "In-school suspensions" include both removals in which no IEP services are provided and those in which the student continues to receive services according to his/her IEP.  This code is valid only if primary disability <>N as of the removal period start date.uri://dpi.wi.gov/DisciplineDescriptorIn School Suspension
02An "out-of-school suspension" (also known as "suspension") is a removal from school grounds imposed by the school administration for noncompliance with school district policies or rules; for threatening to destroy school property; or for endangering the property, health, or safety of those at school. See s. 120.13(1)(b), Wis. Stats.uri://dpi.wi.gov/DisciplineDescriptorOut of School Suspension
03An "expulsion" is a removal from school grounds for purposes of discipline as imposed by the school board for violation of school district rules; threats against school property; or conduct which endangers the property, health, or safety of those at school. Expulsion is a formal school board action pursuant to s. 120.13 (1) and (first-class city school district) s. 119.25.uri://dpi.wi.gov/DisciplineDescriptorExpulsion
04Definition for expulsion PLUS the student who was expelled from School A received educational services during the expulsion period during this school term. Educational services may either be provided by another school or by School A at a setting off School A's grounds.uri://dpi.wi.gov/DisciplineDescriptorExpulsion with Services
05"Placement in IAES - school personnel" is an instance in which school personnel (not the IEP team) order the removal of a student with disabilities from his or her current educational placement to an appropriate interim alternative educational setting for not more than 45 school days as the result of drug offenses, dangerous weapon offenses, or causing serious bodily injury. The IEP team is responsible for determining the interim alternative educational setting. "Placement in IAES - school personnel" does NOT include decisions by the IEP team to change a student's placement.This code is valid only if primary disability <>N as of the removal period start date.uri://dpi.wi.gov/DisciplineDescriptorIAES by School Personnel
06"Placement in IAES - hearing officer" is an instance in which an impartial IDEA hearing officer orders the removal of a student with disabilities from his or her current educational placement to an appropriate alternative educational setting for not more than 45 school days based on the IDEA hearing officer’s determination that maintaining the child’s current placement is substantially likely to result in injury to the child or others. The IEP team is responsible for determining the interim alternative educational setting.This code is valid only if primary disability <> N as of the removal period start date.uri://dpi.wi.gov/DisciplineDescriptorIAES by Hearing Officer

length
  1. If any of the following conditions are met on the Student Behavior Resolution, use the calculation:
    1. Resolution End Date is after the Calendar End Date.
  1. Calculate the number of Instructional days from the Resolution Start Date (inclusive) to the earliest of:
    • Resolution End Date (inclusive)
    • Calendar End Date (inclusive)
    • Return Date (exclusive)
      • This is the initial removal length for the calendar.
  2. If Violated Early Return is not checked, report the initial removal length value.
  3. If Violated Early Return is checked, calculate from Expulsion Reinstatement Date to the earliest of:
    • Resolution End Date
    • Calendar End Date
      • This is the additional removal length for the calendar.
      • Add additional removal length to the initial removal length for the calendar. Report this value.
