Discipline by Demographic – School Discipline and Attendance (2023-24)
Introduction
The Discipline by Action report summarizes state reportable district discipline incidents grouped by student demographics.
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 Management Record Selection
The report selects records from Incident Management based on the following criteria:
The student (Offender) is not flagged as Exclude from State Reporting.
The school is not flagged as Exclude from State Reporting.
The Incident Date falls between the user-selected start and end dates.
The Incident is associated with a school.
The Incident Behavior, Action, and Incident codes are State Reportable.
The Incident has at least one Offender.
The Behavior is assigned to the Offender(s).
The Action is associated with the Behavior.
Record Selection Logic
Incidents are extracted when:
The Behavior is one of the 15 specified, state-reportable behavior codes (in the Student Incidents behavior code option set) but the action is not state-reportable.
The Incident resulted in a state-reportable classroom removal, suspension, expulsion, or referral to law enforcement (in the Student Incidents action code option set), but the behavior is not state-reportable.
The Incident Type is State Reportable.
The incidents listed in the Discipline by Action report are also listed in this report:
The most severe state reportable action gets reported, along with the associated behavior.
Referred to Law Enforcement incidents must always get reported, even if the referral is associated with the student who does not have the most severe action.
