The document provides guidance on reporting discipline and truancy data in the Incident Management System for the 2014-2015 school year. It outlines that all data must be reported in Incident Management and will be used to populate various state and federal reports. Districts are responsible for reviewing and verifying data for accuracy. Proper coding of incidents is critical, including associating students, behaviors, actions, and special codes for weapons, drugs, injuries or hearing officer determinations.
2. Incident Management System
All discipline and truancy data must be reported
in Incident Management System for the 2014-15
school year.
Incident Management will streamline the
reporting of the UMIRS Data, PDS Data, Gun Free
Schools Data, and Table 5 for Special Education
Reporting-All Data for these reports will come
from PowerSchool. No additional data entry is
required. LEAs will utilize PowerSchool data to
populate Table 5 for submission.
3. Incident Management System
Security is set by groups
Discipline and Truancy
Although student-level data will be input into Incident
Management, SCDE will use the aggregate data to
report incidents, as it currently does with discipline
data.
Data from Incident Management will be used to
compile the state and federal reports listed above, it is
critical that all data entered be reviewed and verified
for accuracy.
It is important that all discipline and truancy data are
coded in Incident Management and not log entries.
5. Federal Reporting Requirements
The EdFacts Files C136 Student Discipline File and
C030 Discipline Incidents File behavior data will
be extracted for the 2014-2015 school year for In-

Secure SFTP Server at 45th day, 90th day, 135th
day and 180th day.
The goal for the 2014-2015 school year is to
move Incident Management Data to Data
Quality and Reporting (DQR).
17. Reviewing Incident Data and Reports
District should review data at the end of each quarter
to ensure that the totals match the reports in Incident
Management.
Districts should review the IM Query data to ensure no
incident components are missing, invalid, or require
updating.
ADT reports will provide the total count of incidents
reported by your districts.
ADT reports will provide an overall count of incidents
reported by all school in the district based on the
quarterly reports submitted to SCDE.
18. Reviewing Incident Reports in ADT
Districts should review data to ensure that
