GLOSSARY OF COLUMNS

Absent:
count of each student who was absent for every test.
Action Type:
designates the disciplinary action received by each student.  The action types are:
  • DAEP:  indicates the student was placed in a Disciplinary Alternative Education Program; 
  • JJAEP:  indicates the student was placed in a Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program; 
  •  Expulsion Without Placement indicates the student was expelled without placement in an alternative education program.

    Each student is counted only once for each action type.  If a student received a disciplinary action in more than one action type, that student was counted once in each action type.

   
ARD Exempt:
  • only on SDAA II Reports from 2006-2007.
  • count of each student who received a special education exemption from his/her Admission, Review, and Dismissal Committee (ARD) for every test.
Days In Disciplinary Setting:
indicates the range of the total days a student was placed in a disciplinary setting.  For example,  if a student was placed in a DAEP for 3 days for one disciplinary action; and, that same student was placed in a DAEP for 2 days for a separate disciplinary action; then, his “days in disciplinary setting” would be combined for a total of 5 days; and, if he had no other placements in a DAEP, his results would be included in “1 TO 30”.
