2.0 GUIDANCE FOR SUBMITTING THIS FILE

This file specification is used to collect the number of children with disabilities ages 3 through 21 during the school year subject to disciplinary removals by total days removed.

Additional guidance is below:

Which students should be reported in this file? Report children with disabilities (IDEA) as defined in section 4.2 of the EDFacts Workbook who were ages 3 through 21 as of the child count date and were subject to a disciplinary removal.

Which students should not be reported in this file? Exclude students who have a single suspension of a half day or less.

Exclude parentally-placed private school students.

What is a disciplinary removal? Any instance in which a child with a disability is removed from his/her educational placement for disciplinary purposes, including in–school suspension, out–of–school suspension, expulsion, removal by school personnel to an interim alternative educational setting for drug or weapon offenses or serious bodily injury, and removal by hearing officer for likely injury to the child or others.

How are counts reported by removal length? The removal length (IDEA) is the cumulative length of removals during the school year.  A child with less than or equal to 0.5 cumulative days should not be reported.  A child with greater than 0.5 and less than 1.5 cumulative days should be counted in the "LTOREQ1" category.  A child with greater than or equal to 1.5 and less than or equal to10.0 cumulative days should be added into the "2TO10" category.  A child with greater than 10.0 cumulative days should be counted in the “GREATER10” category.

For example, a child who was suspended four times for three days each during the school year and who was removed 12 cumulative days would be reported once as greater than 10 days in the "GREATER10" category.

How are cumulative days counted? Revised! Days with suspensions of half a school day in length or longer are counted. States that are unable to record data on half-day basis should count all half-day suspensions as whole day suspensions. .

July 2009 4 SY 2008-09 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION N088 - Children with Disabilities (IDEA) Disciplinary Removals File Specifications v5.0

How are students reported by disability category (IDEA)? Report students by one of the disability categories under IDEA that are listed in section 4.5 of the EDFacts Workbook.

How are students reported by racial ethnic? The document EDFacts Guidance on Submitting Racial and Ethnic Data contains directions on how to report racial and ethnic data.

How are students reported by LEP status (both)? Students who meet the definition of limited English proficient (LEP) students in section 4.3 of the EDFacts Workbook at the time of the removal should be reported as LEP. Students who do not meet that definition at the time of the removal should be reported as non-LEP.

Do other files collect related data? Yes. There are several file specifications that are used to collect data on disciplinary removals of children with disabilities (IDEA). Section 5.3.1.5 “Relationship among files” in the EDFacts Workbook explains how these files relate to one another.

The table below indicates other files in which these types of removals are reported.

2.1 Definitions The following definitions support this file:

Disciplinary Removal Any instance in which a child with a disability is removed from his/her educational placement for disciplinary purposes, including in–school suspension, out–of–school suspension, expulsion, removal by school personnel to an interim alternative educational setting for drug or weapon offenses or serious bodily injury, and removal by hearing officer for likely injury to the child or others.

Interim alternative educational setting An appropriate setting determined by the child’s IEP team in which the child is placed for no more than 45 school days. This setting enables the child to continue to receive educational services and participate in the general education curriculum (although in another setting) and to progress toward meeting the goals set out in the IEP. As appropriate, the setting includes a functional behavioral assessment and behavioral intervention services and modifications to address the behavior violation so that it does not recur.

Removal by a hearing officer Those instances in which an impartial hearing officer orders the removal of children with disabilities from their current educational placement to an appropriate alternative educational setting for not more than 45 school days based on the hearing officer’s determination that maintaining the child’s current placement is substantially likely to result in injury to the child or others. The IEP team is responsible for determining the interim alternative educational setting.

Unilateral removals Instances in which school personnel (not the IEP team) order the removal of the children with disabilities from their current educational placement to an appropriate interim alternative education setting for not more than 45 school days. The IEP team is responsible for determining the interim alternative education setting. Unilateral removals do not include decision by the child’s IEP team to change a student’s placement.

Dangerous weapon A weapon, device, instrument, material, or substance, animate or inanimate, that is used for, or is readily capable of causing death or serious bodily injury; such a term does not include a pocket knife with a blade of less than 2 ½ inches in length. (18 USC Section 930(g)(2))

July 2009 6 SY 2008-09 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION N088 - Children with Disabilities (IDEA) Disciplinary Removals File Specifications v5.0

Drug offenses The use, possession, sale, or solicitation of drugs as identified in 21 U.S.C. Section 812(c). These offenses do not include the use, possession, sale, or solicitation of alcohol or tobacco. (18 USC Section 930(g)(2))

Serious bodily injury A bodily injury that involves a substantial risk of death; extreme physical pain; protracted and obvious disfigurement; or protracted loss or impairment of the function of a bodily member, organ or faculty. (18 USC Section 1365(h)(3))

Expulsion An action taken by the LEA removing a child from his/her regular school for disciplinary purposes for the remainder of the school year or longer in accordance with local educational agency policy. Include removals resulting from violations of the Gun-Free Schools Act that are modified to less than 365 days.

In-School Suspensions Instances in which a child is temporarily removed from his/her regular classroom(s) for disciplinary purposes but remains under the direct supervision of school personnel. Direct supervision means school personnel are physically in the same location as students under their supervision.

Out-of-School Suspensions Instances in which a child is temporarily removed from his/her regular school for disciplinary purposes to another setting (e.g., home, behavior center). This includes both removals in which no IEP services are provided because the removal is 10 days or less as well as removals in which the child continues to receive services according to his/her IEP.
