Report Logic

  • A record is reported for each disciplinary action that results in a student's removal from any part of their regular academic program.
  • A single student will have multiple records if removed from their classroom more than once.
  • Reported records are not based on whether or not a student has a Resolution Date entered that falls within the current school year. Records under this scenario would still be reported as the incident occurred within the reporting school year.
  • Every disciplinary action that results in the removal of a student from any part of their regular academic program must be categorized as one of the following: In-School Suspension (ISS), Out of School Suspension (OOS), Expulsion, Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program (JJAEP) or DAEP assignments. 
  • A record is reported for every behavior event with a 2-digit resolution code that occurred during the reporting school year. Resolution codes greater than 2 characters are not reported.
  • To report, a Behavior record must have an entry in the Role field for the Role of Offender or Participant.
  • If a student's enrollment has a Service Type of P, Primary, and a Service Type of S or N, data from the student's P (Primary) enrollment reports. If a student does not have a P, Primary, enrollment, then the enrollment that has a Service type of S or N that meets ALL other criteria reports.
  • Summer School Enrollment data is not reported.

Students who meet the following criteria are NOT reported:

  • Students with an ADA Eligibility = 0 or blank.
  • Students with no State ID.
  • Students marked as State Exclude, in a grade level marked State Exclude, or enrolled in a calendar marked State Exclude.
  • Students marked No Show.

Attendance Periods must be created for calendar information to be considered in state reporting.
