Weapons and Behavior Reporting In previous years, the Weapons and Behavior reports collected information from districts/schools regarding data they had tracked throughout the school year. Beginning with the school year, data collected within CEDARS will be used to pre-populate the majority of the data contained within the report. The Weapons and Behavior reports are located within the Education Data System (EDS). Beginning with the school year, the application link will be titled Behavior and Weapons. A bulletin will be issued soon with instructions regarding user roles and access to the application.
