Discipline (TEA PEIMS)

20242025

These are counts of disciplinary actions the district recorded — suspensions, DAEP and JJAEP placements, expulsions — not crimes and not a count of students. TEA masks small counts to comply with FERPA: masked means the value was withheld, and <10, <20 and similar give a disclosed upper bound (larger ceilings are used to prevent working the number out from other cells). A masked cell is never zero.

Offenses reported by district police (DPS / NIBRS)

2025

TATUM ISD operates its own police department, which reports incident-based data to the FBI through the Texas DPS. These are offenses recorded by that department, categorised with the FBI’s NIBRS scheme — a different measure from the TEA discipline actions above.

The department reported no incidents for 2025.

NIBRS submissions on file: 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025.
