Participants will learn about any updates regarding submission of TSDS(Texas student data system) and TEDS(Texas Education Data Standards) discipline records, online discipline resources, TEDS Discipline codes, and how to prepare documentation for a Texas Education Agency (TEA) audit or Federal and State Compliance manual records review.

4. Introduction: TSDS Student Discipline
DisciplineIncidentExtension Complex Type
Description
The DisciplineIncidentExtension Complex Type represents an occurrence of an infraction ranging from a minor problem behavior that disrupts the orderly functioning of a school or classroom (such as tardiness) to a criminal act that results in the involvement of a law enforcement official (such as robbery). A single event (e.g., a fight) is one incident regardless of how many perpetrators or victims are involved. Discipline incidents are events classified as warranting discipline action.

5. TSDS Student Discipline
A PEIMS record is required for each disciplinary action taken against any student which results in the removal from his/her Instructional setting.
Multiple violations are sometimes committed in the course of one disciplinary event. The appropriate code to use in this event is the offense code representing the most serious violation. DO NOT make multiple entries in the Discipline Reason Code field.
Multiple consequences are frequently administered for a single offense. A PEIMS record must be recorded for each disciplinary action that results in a removal.
44425 records are reported at the end of the current school year, and are a part of PEIMS Submission 3.

6. TSDS Student Discipline
The StudentDisciplineIncidentAssociationExtension Complex Type indicates those students related to a discipline incident who were victims, perpetrators, witnesses, and/or reporters.

7. TSDS Student Discipline

8. Reporting Requirements: Texas Education Code (TEC) 37.008(m-1)
Under TEC (m-1), failure to report all disciplinary removals as required by state and federal law may result in a review by the commissioner of education and notice to the local school board of any problems noted in the district’s data, or a violation of a law or other rule.
This review may also result in a notification to the county attorney, district attorney, criminal district attorney, as appropriate, and the attorney general. This provision can apply to missing, inaccurate, and/or falsified information/data.

9. Reporting Requirements:
For purposes of discipline data reported to TEA, the attendance/PEIMS data personnel are only responsible for entering information that has been provided to them by the Superintendent or their designee(s) who are responsible for applying the Student Code of Conduct to student behavior. In no case should attendance/PEIMS data personnel be responsible for determining a student's coding information for discipline actions taken.

10. Removal Categories
Every disciplinary action that results in the removal of a student from any part of their regular academic program will be categorized in one of the following general categories:
Suspensions ( in & out of school )
DAEP assignments
Expulsions to the Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program
DAEP & JJAEP Continuations
HB requires school districts to provide notice to a foster child’s educational decision- maker and caseworker regarding certain events that may significantly impact the child’s education.

11. Update: Out-of-School Suspensions (HB 674)
HB 674, passed during the 85th Legislative session (2017), amends Texas Education Code TEC to limit the conditions under which a student below grade three may be placed in an out-of-school suspension (OSS).

12. Out-of-School Suspensions (HB 674)
A student who is enrolled in a grade level below grade three may not be placed in out-of-school suspension unless, while on school property or while attending a school-sponsored or school-related activity on or off of school property, the student engages in:

16. C165 Disciplinary-Action-Reason-Code Update
House Bill 1935(85th Legislative Session), updated language in the Texas Family Code and the Texas Penal Code 46.01, 46.02, 46.03, and regarding the term “illegal knife”.
“illegal knife” has been replaced by “location- restricted knife”

17. Texas Education Data Standards Appendix E: What is required if a student brings a firearm to school?
In accordance with federal law (20 U.S.C. Section 7151), a local educational agency (LEA), including a school district, home-rule school district, or open-enrollment charter school, shall expel a student who brings a firearm, as defined by 18 U.S.C. Section 921, to school. The student must be expelled from the student’s regular campus for a period of at least one year, except that:
(a) the superintendent or other chief administrative officer of the school district or of the other LEA, as defined by 20 U.S.C. Section 2891, may modify the length of the expulsion in the case of an individual student;
(b) the district or other LEA shall provide educational services to [the] an expelled student in an alternative education program as provided by TEC § if the student is younger than 10 years of age on the date of expulsion; and
(c) the district or other LEA may provide educational services to an expelled student who is older than 10 years of age in an alternative education program as provided in TEC §
TEC (a)(1) requires that a school expel a student whose conduct contains the elements of the offense of “Unlawfully Carrying Weapons” on school property or while attending a school- sponsored or school related activity on or off of school property.

18. Texas Education Data Standards Appendix E Campus Behavior Coordinator?
Under the requirements of Senate Bill 107, 84th legislature, TEC , each campus must have a staff person designated as the Campus Behavior Coordinator. The person designated may be the principal of the campus or any other campus administrator selected by the principal.
The campus behavior coordinator is primarily responsible for maintaining student discipline and the implementation of this subchapter.
The campus behavior coordinator is required to promptly notify a student's parent or guardian if the student is placed into in-school or out-of-school suspension, placed in a disciplinary alternative education program, expelled, or placed in a juvenile justice alternative education program or is taken into custody by a law enforcement officer. A campus behavior coordinator must comply with this subsection by: (1) promptly contacting the parent or guardian by telephone or in person; and (2) making a good faith effort to provide written notice of the disciplinary action to the student, on the day the action is taken, for delivery to the student's parent or guardian.
If a parent or guardian entitled to notice of a student’s disciplinary removal has not been reached by telephone or in person by 5 p.m. of the first business day after the day the disciplinary action is taken, the campus behavior coordinator must mail written notice of the disciplinary action to the parent or guardian at the parent's or guardian's last known address. If a Campus Behavior Coordinator is unable or not available to promptly provide the required notice to a parent or guardian of a student, the principal or other designee shall provide the notice.

19. Removal of Students who Receive Special Education and Related Services
For disciplinary removals of a student who is receiving special education and related services from the student's current educational placement, a change of placement occurs if the removal is for more than 10 consecutive days (CFR § § ).
The ARD committee that deals with the change of placement must review the student's IEP to detail the special education and related services to be administered to the student while he is removed for discipline reasons.
Be careful not to confuse the 10-day change of placement requirement for special education purposes with the 1-day removal requirement for 425 record reporting purposes.
Appendix E
page 8.E.4

20. Removal of Students who Receive Special Education and Related Services
A 425 record is required for all students who are receiving special education and related services and are removed from their regularly scheduled classes for one day or more.
A change of placement occurs when the removal is for more than 10 consecutive days, and a change of placement may occur when the removal is for more than 10 cumulative days in a school year based on factors such as the length of each removal, the total amount of the time the child is removed, and the proximity of the removals to one another.
An ARD committee must be involved when the removal or series of removals constitute a change in placement.
