File B: Action by Race/Ethnicity and Gender
Overview of Data • Count of students by Race and Gender and Action Taken • A student may be counted multiple times • The total count of students must be equal or greater than the number of incidents • Habitually Disruptive Students Count • Unduplicated Count • Attendance Data
Action Taken (1 of 6) • Classroom Suspension/Teacher Removal: • The total number of students (not incidents) that were removed by the teacher or suspended from the classroom. If a student was removed or suspended multiple times, each time is included in the count.
Action Taken (2 of 6) • In School Suspension: • The total number of students (not incidents) that were suspended in school. If a student was suspended multiple times, each time is included in the count.
Action Taken (3 of 6) • Out of School Suspension: • The total number of students (not incidents) that were suspended out of school. If a student was suspended multiple times, each time is included in the count.
Action Taken (4 of 6) • Expulsion: • The total number of students (not incidents) that were expelled from school. If a student was expelled multiple times, each time is included in the count.
Action Taken (5 of 6) • Referred to Law Enforcement: • The total number of students (not incidents) that are in this Federal Race/Ethnicity Reporting Category, gender category, which were referred to law enforcement. If a student was referred to the law enforcement multiple times, each time is included in the count. • If a student was referred to law enforcement and another action was taken, the student is counted in both.
Action Taken (6 of 6) • Other Action Taken: • The total number of students (not incidents) in which another action was taken that is not listed. Each other action is included, even if a student would be counted multiple times.
Unduplicated Count • Provide an unduplicated count of students involved in incidents reported on both Safety and Discipline tables. Regardless of how many times a student appears in the Action Taken fields, only count the student once in the unduplicated total.
Habitually Disruptive • Provide the total number of students that were declared habitually disruptive and expelled. A child who has been suspended three times during the course of the school year for causing a material and substantial disruption in the classroom, on school grounds, on school vehicles, or at school activities and events because of behavior that was initiated, willful and overt on the part of the child.
Habitually Disruptive Additional Clarification • Include only students who have been declared Habitually Disruptive. Each of the suspensions which caused a "material and substantial" disruption that led to this expulsion will be reported separately in the appropriate incident category. The final suspension leading to an expulsion should be recorded only once under the "Pupils Expelled" column as the expulsion was the most serious action taken as a result of the third or final incident.
Habitually Disruptive- Quick Overview • Students are DECLARED habitually disruptive • Student disciplined will also be included as: • 2 incidents resulting in Suspension • 1 incident resulting in the Expulsion
Attendance Information (1of 4) • Student Total Days Attended: The aggregate numbers of whole and partial days the students have attended school for the current school year. It is calculated by adding the number of days each student attended (full and partial days) in the currentschool year.
Attendance Information (2of 4) • Student Total Days Excused Absent: The aggregate number of whole and partial days students had excused absences (out of school), for the current school year. Absence due to a suspension is excused. (A student that is tardy is not considered to be absent.)
Attendance Information (3of 4) • Total Student Days Unexcused Absent: The aggregate number of whole and partial days students were absent (out of school), without being excused from a parent/guardian for the current school year. (A student that is tardy is not considered to be absent.)
Attendance Information (4of 4) • Student Total Days Possible: The aggregate number of whole and partial days students would have attended school if there had been no absences for the current school year. It is calculated by adding the number of days that each student was enrolled in the current school year. Expelled students are included until date of expulsion. This number should be the sum of Total Days Attended, Total Days Excused Absent and Total Days Unexcused Absent.
Habitually Truancy Definition • A child between 6 and 17 years of age having four unexcused absences from public school in any one month or ten unexcused absences from public school during any school year. Absences due to suspension expulsions is considered excused absences.
Habitually Truant Counts • 3 fields capture this required data: • Truancy: Four or more days in any one calendar month • Truancy: Ten or more days in one school year • Truancy: Met both conditions • Students are to be reported in only 1 category per school as applicable
Habitually Truant Counts Field Definitions (1 of 3) • Habitual Truancy Count: Four or more days in one month (A): • The unduplicated count of Habitually Truant students who are at least the age of six on or before August 1 of the year in question and under the age of seventeen years having four or more total days of Unexcused Absences from public school in any one calendar Month; calculated by the sum of Unexcused Absences converted to days and fractions of days.
Habitually Truant Counts Field Definitions (2 of 3) • Habitual Truancy Count: Ten or more days in one school year (B) • The unduplicated count of Habitually Truant students who are at least the age of six on or before August 1 of the year in question and under the age of seventeen years having ten or more days of Unexcused Absences but never accumulated four or more days of Unexcused Absences from that public school in any one calendar month; calculated by the sum of Unexcused Absences converted to and fractions of days.
Habitually Truant Counts Field Definitions (3 of 3) • Habitual Truancy Count: Met Both Conditions (A & B): • The unduplicated count of Habitually Truant students who are at least the age of six on or before August 1 of the year in question and under the age of seventeen years having four or more total days of Unexcused Absences from the reporting public school in any one calendar Month and also accumulated ten or more total days Unexcused Absences from the same public school during the Reported School Year; calculated by the sum of Unexcused Absences converted to days and fractions of days.
FAQ: Habitually Truant • Q: How should a day be counted? • A: It really depends on how often attendance is tracked within the school. If attendance is taken 6 times, then 6 unexcused absences would count as a day. • Q: I had a student meet the habitually truant definition, yet they are no longer in our school-are they reported? • Yes, they would still be counted. This is the same for any incident.
