Data Pipeline Interchanges - Discipline

Overview

The Discipline Interchange updates the Special Education Discipline Interchange file with data fields required per HB22-1376 which includes data previously collected in the periodic files for the School Discipline files (Discipline by Action, Discipline by Demographics and Firearm Data).  The updated Discipline Interchange file process will start in the 2023-2024 school year and will contain one file: the Discipline Action File.  In the file, all students who were disciplined during the reporting school year will be reported. This information is used in the Student Discipline Snapshot for all students and Special Education Discipline snapshot for students with an active IEP.
