Federal Discipline Data
State Discipline Special Education Data Collection
The federally required Discipline data collection reports disciplinary actions involving children with disabilities receiving services under IDEA. It includes information on suspensions, expulsions, removals to alternative educational settings, and discipline incidents involving specific offenses. This data is used to monitor compliance with IDEA disciplinary protections, identify patterns of disproportionality, evaluate equity in disciplinary practices, and support efforts to improve student outcomes and school climate.
