Discipline Incident Entry and Student Exclusionary Discipline (R) Records

Interventions > All > Student > Behavior Incidents

For information on prerequisites for reporting Student Discipline records, refer to the Discipline Validation Tables section.
The Create CEDARS Download/Extract option lets you download Student Exclusionary Discipline (R) records showing students involved in discipline incidents, the offenses for those students, disciplinary actions taken, and weapons involved, if any. Based on the processing prompts you select and filter criteria you enter, the CEDARS Download selects the appropriate discipline incidents and then creates a record for each student offender associated with the selected incidents.
The download follows these rules when creating records:

It creates an R record whenever a student offender has an Offense defined with a State Code Equiv in the Incident/Offense Codes validation table. If a student has more than one offense associated with a particular discipline incident, the CEDARS download looks at Severity Order assigned for the offenses in the Incident/Offense Codes table. The offense with the highest priority Severity Order gets reported for the student and incident, with 1 being the highest priority.
It creates an R record for each Action Code assigned to the student for the discipline incident. If an Action Code does not have a State Code Equiv set up in the Offense Actions table, it is reported as NA in the R record's Exclusionary Action Applied field. If a reported student has no Action Code for a reported Offense, then the R record again has an Exclusionary Action Applied value of NA.
The download uses a couple additional conversion rules in a case where a student offender has more than one Weapon entered for the same reported incident. The download reports the Weapon Type as MF – Multiple Firearms if the student has both HG and RS Weapon codes for the same incident. The download reports Weapon Type as FO – Firearm and Other Weapon If the student has (1) HG or RS and (2) KD – Knife or Dagger or OW – Other Weapon.
