Why are SESIR and Discipline Data Important?
Provides data:
 For needs assessment for
grant opportunities
 For measuring progress of
intervention
 For reporting to advisory
councils
2012-13 School Safety and Discipline Data Reporting
SESIR Key Features
 Developed
1995 for school staff
 Based
on criminal code but not
identical
 23
incident categories reported
 Each
incident may have related
elements: alcohol, bullying, drug, gang,
hate-crime, injury or weapon

SESIR Incidents

On school grounds, school transportation, or
at off-campus school sponsored events

The most serious offense is the primary SESIR
incident. Secondary offenses can be reported
as one or more “related elements”.


SESIR Reporting


SESIR incidents are per incident.
Report only ONE incident even when
there are multiple students involved in
the same incident.
Discipline actions are per student.

What’s new for 2012-13?
Changes & Updates for 2012-13
Updated Incident Definitions/Examples:

Battery

Larceny/Theft
Updated Data Elements:

Discipline/Resultant Action Code

Zero Tolerance: Expulsions
Other Changes:

Battery & Sexual Battery must be “Injury-Related”
2012-13 School Safety and Discipline Data Reporting
Updated Incident Definitions/Examples:
Battery
BATTERY (physical attack/harm) The physical use of force or violence by an
individual against another. The attack must be serious enough to warrant
consulting law enforcement or result in serious bodily harm. (To distinguish
from Fighting, report an incident as Battery only when the force or violence is
carried out against a person who is not fighting back.)
Examples
•Student hitting another with a heavy object over the head resulting in serious
injury.
•Student jabbing a pen into another's arm resulting in serious injury.
•Student or other engaging in a mutual physical altercation with another and
continuing to hit/beat that person even after that person stops fighting, or is
no longer able to fight back resulting in serious injury.
Additional Guidelines
Note: Battery is a "Violent Incident" and is required to be reported in the
related element "Injury-Related".
2012-13 School Safety and Discipline Data Reporting
Updated Incident Definitions/Examples:
Larceny/Theft
LARCENY/THEFT (taking of property from person, building, or a vehicle)
The unauthorized taking, carrying, riding away, or concealing the property of
another person, including motor vehicle, without threat, violence, or bodily
harm.
Examples: Student or other embezzling public funds. Student or other
stealing an item/items worth $300 or more. Student finding a checkbook,
signing owner’s name and making a purchase. Student or other stealing a car
or motorcycle.
Non-Examples: Student or other borrowing an item without permission.
Student or other committing robbery (code as Robbery instead). Student or
other stealing an item/items less than $300.
Note: The item(s) must total $300 or more in value to report in SESIR.
However, it is important for schools to document these types of incidents on
their local student discipline referral form.
2012-13 School Safety and Discipline Data Reporting
Updated Data Element:
Discipline/Resultant Action Code
LOCAL USE ONLY CODE D: Districts may record
other district-defined disciplinary/resultant actions
which cannot be reported using any other code in
this element, and may assign them the code D in their
local systems. These district-defined disciplinary/
resultant actions should not be included on the
Student Discipline/Resultant Action format. This code
is to be used only when the action is related to a
non-SESIR defined incident.
2012-13 School Safety and Discipline Data Reporting
Updated Data Element:
Zero Tolerance: Expulsions
A code indicating whether or not the
student was removed from the school
setting for an extended length of time with
or without continuing education services
due to state or and local zero-tolerance
policies.
2012-13 School Safety and Discipline Data Reporting
Other Changes:
BAT and SXB must be “Injury-Related”

A new reject rule has been added to require that Battery
and Sexual Battery are coded as Injury-Related.

Federal specifications categorize violent incidents as
“serious enough to warrant calling the police or security
or when serious bodily harm occurs.”

Law enforcement consultation is already required for
these violent incidents.

What Does Accurate SESIR and Discipline Data
Depend On?
 Knowledge
of SESIR Definitions
 Software System design to optimize
accuracy
 Schools Data Review/Correction
 Process to Update OSS to AP or
Expulsion
 Process for Entering Incidents
& Disciplinary Actions
 Student Referral Form Design
2012-13 School Safety and Discipline Data Reporting
Some Problems with 2010-11 Data
Not all level I incidents were reported to
Law Enforcement
 Many districts reported no Injury-Related
and/or no Bullying-Related incidents
 Incidents involving staff, teachers, and
administrators were not reported in SESIR
 Some districts had a low percentage of schools
reporting incidents (less than 50%)
 Code confusion (Expulsion vs. Alt. Placement)

2012-13 School Safety and Discipline Data Reporting
Verifying District SESIR Data
District data are compared against:
Incidents reported in the media
 Incidents reported to DOE’s Professional
Practices
 Information received by DOE parent liaisons
 Other sources

2012-13 School Safety and Discipline Data Reporting
Online Training
 Greatest barrier to accurate
data was identified as lack of
knowledge of SESIR definitions
and reporting process by
school administrators.
