Student Discipline TEA Changes and Form Changes
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. • What did the student do? • 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.
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
C165 Disciplinary Action Reason Code Table (Codes added) 59 – Serious Misbehavior as defined by TEC 37.008 while expelled or placed in a DAEP • TEC §37.007(c) defines "serious misbehavior" as: (1) deliberate violent behavior that poses a direct threat to the health or safety of others; (2) extortion, meaning the gaining of money or other property by force or threat; (3) conduct that constitutes coercion, as defined by Section 1.07, Penal Code; or (4) conduct that constitutes the offense of: • (A) public lewdness under Section 21.07, Penal Code; • (B) indecent exposure under Section 21.08, Penal Code; • (C) criminal mischief under Section 28.03, Penal Code; • (D) personal hazing under Section 37.152; or • (E) harassment under Section 42.07(a)(1), Penal Code, of a student or district employee.

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.
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….)
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.
Discipline Referral Template 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.
