1. TEA Changes and Form Changes

2. Discipline Changes to 425 Behavior Location Code (new) indicates where a student committed an applicable offense that is enumerated in Texas Education Code 37.006 or 37.007. (On/off campus, school related activities, etc…). – Behavior Location Code eliminates duplicate reasons in the C165 Discipline Reason Code Table. The Behavior Location Code allows school staff to ask and answer two questions to determine proper Discipline Action Reason Code reporting. 1. What did the student do? 2. Where did the student commit the behavior? Reference Appendix E for a complete explanation of the Behavior Location Code for each Discipline Action Reason Code for which the code is applicable.

3. C165 Disciplinary Action Reason Code Table (Codes deleted) 51 – Firearm (Off Campus 300 ft Zone) 52 – Illegal Knife, Club, Or Prohibited Weapon (Off Campus 300 ft Zone) 53 – Serious Offense Conduct (Off Campus 300 ft Zone) 54 – Felony Marihuana, Controlled Substance, Dangerous Drug, Or Alcoholic Beverage (Off Campus 300 ft Zone) 20 – Serious or Persistent Misconduct Violating the Code of Conduct while in DAEP

6. Offenses Chart New Offenses/Consequences Chart Changes due to the new Location Code this year have caused the Offenses / Consequences Chart to be re-created. There are several codes that are no longer on the chart and one code that is new to the chart. Due to these changes the chart is a little more inclusive, which makes it a little more difficult to “see” at a glance.

7. Consequences Chart Anytime a student is removed from their regular classroom setting due to a disciplinary action, use the Consequences chart to determine the best placement. PEIMS only asks for incidences where a student is actually removed from the classroom. Local codes have been developed for non-PEIMS actions (i.e. parent conference….)

8. Discipline Referral Template Many Campuses have their own internal disciplinary action forms. All forms MUST withstand the requirements set forth in the TEA Data Standards and meet the requirements of a TEA audit. The Discipline Referral Template meets all TEA standards. This is the preferred form and is highly recommended for use of all HISD schools by the Federal & State Compliance Office.

9. Discipline Referral Template This is an image of the Discipline Referral Template that is on our HISD portal. This form is preferred because the area of “action taken” has all elements required by TEA. Changes due to TEA are highlighted on the next slide.
