36. Discipline Documentation • Discipline documentation is available online • Go to www.sbcisd.net • Click on the Departments tab • Click on PEIMS link • Click on manuals link

37. Discipline Documentation The documents that are available online are Discipline Code tables • The action reason code table with a list of the codes and brief descriptions • The action code table with a list of the codes and brief descriptions • The difference reason code table (used when actual days do not match scheduled days) Discipline Documentation • Step-by-step instructions for entering a discipline incident into TXEIS • Changing an existing incident in TXEIS • Printing the discipline form Appendix E from the PEIMS Data Standards • Overview of procedures that need to be followed when sending a student to DAEP or JJAEP • Detailed descriptions of all the various action reason and action codes All individuals who handle discipline incidents should be familiar with all of these documents as well as all local procedures regarding discipline

38. Things to Remember • If a student is given out-of-school suspension any part of a day counts as a full day for state reporting purposes • A student may not be given more than three (3) days of out-of-school suspension for any given discipline incident • If coding a student with fight/mutual combat there must be two offenders entered under one discipline incident

39. Things to Remember • Remember that if multiple students are involved in an incident there should only be one incident entered…multiple offenders can be coded under a single incident • Do not add extra days to the original action length for behaviors that occurred after the initial incident • For example a student is sent to in-school suspension for disruptive behavior in the classroom. While in ISS the student continues their disruptive behavior and another 2 days of ISS is tagged onto the end of there stay. This should be coded as a separate incident. Do not add the extra 2 days of ISS to the original incident length.

40. Things to Remember • Your attendance date and discipline MUSTmatch. The state will audit this data to verify that a student in ISS/OSS is marked accordingly in attendance data. • DATES MATTER- If the student’s placement dates change for ANY reason ( more/fewer) this must be indicated on the incident in Discipline. It will be compared to the attendance data.

41. Things to Remember • Please make sure your incident comments support the action reason code given • For example if you use code 21 (code of conduct violation) make sure the comments don’t say something along the lines of ‘student was caught with marijuana’ • Make sure you enter your discipline data in a timely manner. All incidents should be entered into TXEIS within one full school day of the incident’s occurrence

42. Things to Remember • Contact Jessica Morado/Rosie Romo if you have questions concerning • Data entry into TXEIS • How to code a particular incident • Any other issue regarding TXEIS

43. DAEP Procedures • Remember to enter the discipline incident into TXEIS prior to withdrawing the student and sending them to DAEP • Make sure you have followed the NEW procedures for sending the student to DAEP, this will make the transition easier on everyone

44. New TXEIS User's • All staff, who have not gone through basic discipline entry training, and will be entering data into TXEIS are required to go through a basic discipline data entry course • Returning users who would like a refresher are also welcome!
