  3. Why are SESIR and Discipline Data Important? Provides data: • For needs assessment for grant opportunities • For measuring progress of intervention • To measure results of interventions • Reporting to advisory councils

  4. SESIR Key Features • Developed 1995 for lay school staff • Based on criminal code but not identical • 21 incidents through 2005-2006 • 22 incidents now • Each incident may have related elements: hate crime, gang, alcohol, drug, weapon, bullying, or injury-related *(new for 2008-09)

  5. SESIR Incidents Report: • Incidents on school grounds, school transportation, or at off-campus school sponsored events • The most serious offense as the primary SESIR incident. If the incident includes other offenses, report them as “related elements”. • 365 days/24 hours • Known or Unknown Offenders

  6. SESIR Reporting • SESIR incidents are per incident. Report only ONE incident even when there are multiple students involved in the same incident. • Discipline actions are per student.

  7. Reporting Formats • School Environmental Safety Incident Report • Student Discipline/Referral Action

  8. Reporting Periods SESIR and Discipline data must be reported in Surveys 2, 3 and 5. • Survey 2: October, 2009 • Survey 3: February, 2010 • Survey 5: August, 2010

  16. What Does Accurate SESIR and Discipline Data Depend On? • Knowledge of SESIR Definitions • Software System design to optimize accuracy • Schools Data Review/Correction • Process to Update OSS to AP or Expulsion • Process for Entering Incidents & Disciplinary Action • Student Referral Form Design

  17. Online SESIR Training

  18. Online Training • Greatest barrier to accurate data was identified as lack of knowledge of SESIR definitions and reporting process by school administrator. • Online SESIR Training Information is available at: www.SESIR.org

  23. Reporting Firearms Data School Year 2008-09 Sean Millard

  24. Why do districts report firearms data? • Firearms data are required annually to the US Dept of Ed (USDE) Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools:http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/osdfs/index.html • Firearms data are included in the annual USDE in Gun Free Schools Act (GFSA) Report. • Historical GFSA Reports: http://www.ed.gov/about/reports/annual/gfsa/index.html

  25. USDE Office of Gun Free Schools, Guidance • “The GFSA states that each SEA receiving Federal funds under ESEA must have a state law requiring LEAs to expel from school for a period of not less than one year a student who is determined to have brought a weapon to school. Each State’s law must also allow the chief administering offer in the LEA to modify the expulsion requirement on a case-by-case basis.” (from USDE GFSA Report Guidance) • USDE guidance states that students who used/possessed a firearm and for whom no action (e.g., discipline, removal, etc.) was taken “should be extremely rare” and may prompt inquiry.

  26. General Firearms Reporting Requirements • Students with Firearms data also includes Discipline data, i.e., the type and duration of discipline the student received for the firearms use/possession. • So students with a firearms use/possession on the School Environmental Safety Incident Report must have • a matching record on the Discipline/Referral Action table; and • a matching Student Demographic record.

  27. How to Report Students Using/Possessing Firearms • STEP 1: Survey 5, Discipline/Referral Action table, • Student Weapon Use code = Y; and • Disciplinary Action Code C, I, O, H, E, F, P or U; and • Duration, Disciplinary Action (any, but typically ≥ 180 days). • STEP 2: Match to Survey 5 Student Environmental Safety Incident table using SID, District of Enrollment, School Number Current Enrollment, Incident ID & Incident Date. Keep student records with Weapon Description Code = F, H or R.

  28. Reporting Students Using/Possessing Firearms, continued…. • STEP 3: Match to Survey 5 Student Demo record with Grade = PK-12 (to confirm that the person in question is a PK-12 student). • Students who do not satisfy the criteria specified in STEPS 1-3 are dropped and will not be reported to USDE.

  29. Reporting Students Using/Possessing Firearms, continued…. • For students with disabilities, there must also be a Survey 5 Exceptional Student record, i.e., Primary Exceptionality  L or Z. • For students who used/possessed a firearm and were removed for other reasons (e.g., death, court action, etc.) report the appropriate Survey 5, End of Year table, Withdrawal Code, e.g., W12, W13, etc.
