Discipline Incident
This view captures information about discipline incidents occurring at each school. The layout includes the School Name, Incident Identifier, Incident Date, Last Publish Date, Publishing ID, and Resource ID.
disciplineIncidents
This event resource represents an occurrence of an infraction ranging from a minor behavioral problem that disrupts the orderly functioning of a school or classroom (such as tardiness) to a criminal act that results in the involvement of a law enforcement official (such as robbery). A single event (for example, a fight) is one incident regardless of how many perpetrators or victims are involved. Discipline incidents are events classified as warranting discipline action.
