Student Discipline Data

This category carries information about student discipline incidents and disciplinary actions as published within the Student Discipline category. The Student Discipline Data category includes the following data views and resources:

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.

Primary PowerSchool Source Data

  • [Log]

  • [S_VT_LOG_X]

Selection Criteria

Records are published if the following criteria are met:

  • The school where the incident occurred must not be excluded from state reporting.

  • The incident date falls within the year for the Term selected in the PowerSchool UI.

  • The incident includes at least one behavior that is a state offense or that is mapped by the district for publishing. 

Entity Output

  • A separate disciplineIncident record is published for each unique incident based on incident identifier that contains at least one reportable behavior code.

  • The disciplineIncident resource is dependent on the prior publishing of the following resources: schools.

  • LEAs and Schools may upload (publish) data to the Ed-Fi ODS in real time or on-demand (“Run Now” button).
