An action group and its total will be highlighted in yellow if the district has defined a threshold for an action, and the student has been assigned to serve this action in excess of the threshold.

The fields that display when entering actions depend on whether your district tracks actions by occurrences or by duration. Refer to the descriptions that correspond to how your district tracks actions.

Field

Description

Action Code

Action assigned to the offender.

A warning may display if you select an action that is inappropriate for the offense. Your district can define severity information for offenses and actions to provide warnings, if you select an action that does not follow your district policies. For example, if you assign a detention for an offense that is defined to receive a more severe action, you will get a warning.

If the district has selected to enforce action levels, your security access determines if you can assign an action that is outside of the range of the offense code.

  • If you do not have security to override action levels, you must select an action that is in the range. The list of actions will include only action codes that are within the range for the offense.
  • If you have security to override action levels, then a warning message displays if you select an action code that is not of the appropriate level for the offense. You can continue or stop assigning that action.

If attendance can be recorded for the action, then the Attendance window displays when you save the incident. For more information, refer to Recording Attendance for Incident Actions.

Actual Duration

The length of the action.

If the Behavior District Configuration is defined to calculate end dates and durations, the Actual Duration value can be calculated or can be used to calculate action dates.

  • To calculate the end date when the Scheduled Start Date is entered, a value must be entered for the Actual Duration field.
  • To allow the system to calculate the duration based on the dates entered in Scheduled Start Date and Scheduled End Date fields, leave this field blank, and then enter the applicable dates.

Scheduled Duration

Scheduled duration of the action.

If the Default Scheduled Duration checkbox is selected on the Behavior District Configuration page, then the value entered in the Actual Duration field is the default for this field if it is blank.

Scheduled Start Date

Scheduled start date of the action.

If attendance can be recorded for the action and you changed action dates, then the Attendance window will display when you save. By default, all attendance dates within the range of those two dates are selected. You can review the attendance information in this window, exclude periods if needed, and click Save to create the attendance records.

If attendance can be recorded for the action, then the Attendance window displays when you save the incident. By default, all attendance dates from the Scheduled Start Date to the Scheduled End Date are selected. For more information, refer to Recording Attendance for Incident Actions.

Scheduled End Date

Scheduled end date of the action.

If the action is set up to calculate the end date and the Scheduled End Date was blank, then the end date will be calculated based on your entries in the Actual Duration and Scheduled Start Date fields.

  • The calculation assumes that actions have a full day duration; if an action is entered with a decimal value, the duration will be rounded to a whole number to return the end date. Membership days in the student's calendar are included when calculating the date.
  • If the duration value entered would yield a date after the last membership day in the calendar, the Scheduled End Date field will not be set.

If attendance can be recorded for the action and you changed action dates, then the Attendance window displays when you save the incident. By default, all attendance dates from the Scheduled Start Date to the Scheduled End Date are selected. For more information, refer to Recording Attendance for Incident Actions.
