Discipline Summary Reports

This page last updated August 15, 2020

Overview

Discipline Summary Reports include student discipline data in a variety of ways providing overviews of discipline information at the state, region, district or campus level.

The data are compiled from the Summer (Collection 3) Submission of the Public Education Information Management System (PEIMS), a statewide data system for public education information in Texas. School districts submit their data, which are defined in a yearly publication, the TSDS TEDS Data Standards.  The links related to discipline data available at Data Submission page of the TSDS TEDS Data Standards includes additional details about discipline data.

A PEIMS record (44425 Disciplinary Action Sub-Category) is required for each disciplinary action taken against a student which results in the removal from any part of their regular classroom program. These data are required by TEC Chapter 37, and by IDEA 2004, which includes students who are receiving special education and related services.

These reports include students enrolled in public school districts and charter schools. The reports do not include students in private schools.

Reported Information

Action counts, student counts, and incident counts

Action counts: Each discipline record is counted as one action. For example, three discipline records of a single student are counted as three actions.

  • Student counts: Each student is counted as one student. For example, one student with three discipline records is counted once.
  • Incident counts: A disciplinary incident number is generated when an incident results in one or more disciplinary actions for one or more students. In some cases, a student may receive more than one disciplinary action for the same disciplinary offense resulting in a district submitting more than one record for the identical incident number. For example, if three students are involved in an incident that results in two disciplinary actions against each of the three students, the incident adds one to an incident count, three to a student count, and six to an action count.

Types of disciplinary actions

Every disciplinary action that results in the removal of a student from any part of their regular academic program is categorized in one of the following general categories:

  • In-School Suspension (ISS),
  • Out-of-School Suspension (OSS),
  • Expulsion,
  • Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program (JJAEP), or
  • Disciplinary Alternative Education Program (DAEP) assignments.
