11. Local Codes vs PEIMS Codes
Local codes are district defined codes for discipline offenses and actions.
PEIMS codes are from the Code 164 (actions) and Code 165 (offenses) tables of the PEIMS Data Standards.
Locally defined offense codes that are a violation of the Student Code of Conduct are given a PEIMS offense code of 21 (Violation of School Code of Conduct)
If you enter an offense code that is NOT a PEIMS code 21, then you need to make sure that you have proper documentation of the offense and that the mandatory or discretionary action is given to the student and the corresponding action codes are keyed into iTCCS. See the TSDS PEIMS Chart in Appendix E for guidance in determining mandatory and discretionary DAEP placements and expulsions.
IMS Department
5/24/2019

12. Offense Codes
The first offense code is classified as the primary offense code for the student on that date and time. You can also enter three additional offenses.
All comments and actions will be tied to the primary offense.
All of our offense codes have a PEIMS-equivalent code. However, the primary offense code will only be reported if one or more action codes has a PEIMS-equivalent code.
IMS Department
5/24/2019

13. Offense/Action Codes
If the primary offense has a PEIMS-equivalent code corresponding to either conduct requiring mandatory expulsion or conduct requiring mandatory placement in a DAEP (optional expulsion), the action code must have an applicable PEIMS-equivalent code.
If the action code entered does not correspond to an applicable mandatory PEIMS-equivalent code, a message will appear to the right of the primary offense record indicating that the action is incomplete.
If the primary offense has a PEIMS-equivalent code corresponding to conduct requiring mandatory expulsion, the action code must correspond to a mandatory action, or action code 28 (mandatory action not taken) must be selected. Otherwise, the Add 28 Action button will be displayed next to the offense table when the action code is saved. This only occurs for non-special ed students.

15. Offense/Action Codes
A PEIMS action code of 27 can only be assigned to a student when there is a non-mandatory PEIMS action code, and the student is enrolled in special education on the date of the offense.
If you enter a non-mandatory PEIMS action code, a message will appear to the right of the primary offense record indicating that the action is incomplete. If the primary offense date is a valid date that falls within the student's enrollment in special education, then the Add 27 Action button will be displayed.

IMS Department
5/24/2019

17. Action Codes
If the action code corresponds to the PEIMS-equivalent code 05 or 25 for OSS, the program will determine the number of consequence days. When the data is saved, the program will add together the number of days in the consequence Lng (length) fields or the number of days in the consequence Act Lng (actual length) fields, depending on which field was modified.
If either total is greater than three days, a pop-up warning box will appear to warn you of the overage.
IMS Department

18. Campus of Assignment
If the action code corresponds to the PEIMS-equivalent code 06 or 26 for ISS, the Campus of Assignment field will automatically be updated when the discipline record is saved.
For action code 07, you must enter the campus 9-digit number for Houston, Parker or MAP in the Campus of Assignment field.
If the action code entered has a PEIMS equivalent code of 01, 05, 16, 17, 25, 27, 28, or 50 and the Campus of Assignment field is entered, then a message pop up box will appear displaying "CAMPUS ID OF ASSIGNMENT IS NOT REQUIRED -- CORRECT AND CLICK SAVE". Delete the data in the Campus of Assignment field to save the record.

19. Differences in Length
If a student does not serve the discipline term that has been assigned (Lng), then you must enter the actual number of days served by the student in the disciplinary placement in the Act Lng field and use one of the Different Length Reason codes.
Include only the actual number of instructional days that the student was in attendance when calculating this number. Do not include days absent.
