ESS Discipline Data Collection Report

The ESS Discipline Data Report (previously called the AZ Safe and Drug Free report) generates incident data for submission to the state. The report is run at the school level, as opposed to district-wide.

Selection Criteria

Selection criteria determine which database records are used in the report. Refer to selection criteria for analysis when the report does not return the correct records.

Incident Selection

The report selects records based on the following criteria:

  • At least one offender must be defined for each incident.
  • At least one behavior must be defined for each offender.
  • At least one action must be associated with each behavior.
  • At least one reporter must be defined for each incident (reporters should not be assigned any actions or behaviors).
  • Reportable incident data is limited by the Reporting Method selected on the Edit School page (Start Page > District Setup > Schools/School Info > Edit School):
  1. All Data With SAIS ID – All incident data is reported, including the student’s SAIS ID.
  2. All Data without SAIS ID – All incident data is reported, excluding the student’s SAIS ID.
  3. Mandatory Data With SAIS ID – Only mandatory incidents are reported, including the student’s SAIS ID.
  4. Mandatory Data Without SAIS ID – Only mandatory incidents are reported, excluding the student’s SAIS ID.

Note: A mandatory incident is any incident involving bodily injury and/or a mandatory action and/or a mandatory violation. Mandatory actions include all actions in the “Removal” category, such as expulsion or suspension. See the Appendix for a list of mandatory violations.

  • ESS Discipline Data Collection does not include any incidents with non-reportable Action Codes. Only incidents involving a 'Removal', or incidents involving 'Actions with Due Process' are included.
  • When running the ESS Discipline Data Collection report, incidents are included that fall into the 'Removal' or 'Actions with Due Process' category. Incidents with all other Action Types are not included in the output.
