Student Discipline

This category captures information about student discipline incidents and disciplinary actions. The Student Discipline category includes the following data views and resources:

Note: Student Discipline resources are only published for public schools.

Discipline Incident

This view captures information about discipline incidents successfully published to DPI. This 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. The layout includes the School Name, Incident Identifier, Last Publish Date, and Publishing ID.
