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.
