Discipline Incidents Collection. Revised April 2012

The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) reauthorization requires State Education Agencies to establish a school choice policy for students attending a persistently dangerous school as defined by the state. No Child Left Behind (NCLB) stipulates that a school can be deemed unsafe as a whole entity or for an individual student who is the victim of a violent criminal offense. In meeting this federal requirement, the Oregon Department of Education seeks to establish and implement a policy that is preventative as well as responsive to parents' immediate concerns. Thus, corrective action is part of the process of designating a school or schools as unsafe or persistently dangerous. This document explains the conditions that need to exist for a public elementary or secondary school to be considered "persistently dangerous" in Oregon. This document is a compilation of the following items: (1) definitions related to discipline incidents; (2) information regarding expulsions, removals, suspensions, and truancy; (3) a line-by-line account of Discipline Incident Rows 56-70; (4) instructions for completing the Discipline Incidents 11-12 Verification Report; (5) information regarding the Report Validation Window (Safe/Unsafe Status); information and frequently asked questions; (6) questions and answers from the field; (7) the file layout; and (8) Discipline Incidents Collection Lookup Tables.
