School Discipline

Overview

The School Discipline collection contains school level information for (1) the counts of students disciplined based on the type of incident (behavior of the student) and the demographics of the student and the numbers of incidents and (2) the counts of students that brought or possessed a firearm and the action taken for those incidents for each school. The data from the School Discipline collection is used to populate discipline information in the School View application.  

Beginning in the 2019-2020 school year, the attendance data was split into a separate snapshot collection.  The attendance data is now collected as part of the Attendance Snapshot: http://www.cde.state.co.us/datapipeline/datapipelinesnapshots-attendance.
