Disciplinary Action/Intervention Reasons (From the SIS User Guide)

DEFINITION: This is a code denoting what type of discipline the student received.

002 ? Suspension/Out-of-School:

Student is temporarily prohibited from participating in school, and no provision is made for instructional/educational services during this period. (Special Educations students are still expected to receive SPED services in accordance with federal law)

Include only suspensions resulting in removal for at least one full day.

003 ? Expulsion/Out-of-School:

Student is removed from school for at least one semester with no provision made for instructional/educational services. (Special Education students are still expected to receive SPED services in accordance with federal law)

This code also requires submission of an Exit Record.

004 ? Suspension/In-School:

Student is temporarily removed from his/her usual classroom and moved to an alternative setting/program on the same campus for a minimum of one complete school day, and no interruption of instructional/educational services occurs.

The alternative setting must be located on the school site. If the student is removed off-site then you should use the "Suspension/Alternate Site" code. If a student is moved to an alternative site/school, you must use the alternate site codes! Questions about whether you have an alternate site should be directed to Data Management.

Example 1: Tommy G. talks back to his teacher and she sends him to the office. The principal decides Tommy needs to cool off the rest of the week and sends him to another classroom with other removed students. Tommy's teacher provides his assignments which are forwarded back to his teacher when completed. Next Monday, he returns to his original classroom. This is an in-school suspension.

005 ? Expulsion/In-School:

Student is removed from his/her usual classroom and moved to an alternative setting/program on the same campus for a period of time specified by the LEA, and no interruption of instructional/educational services occurs.

The alternative setting must be located on the school site and the student must continue to receive instructional services and remain under the supervision of LEA personnel or their designees. Questions about whether you have an alternate site should be directed to Data Management.
