Report Logic:


EOY 3 C/A Report 7.15


Column Rules
1 LEA Name is determined by #1 and the Expected Schools Table
2 School code is derived from user ID permission and Expected Schools table
3 School Name is determined by #1 and the Expected Schools Table.
4 Total Certified Primary Enrollments – Certified Enrollment count of all SSIDs at the School of Attendance from the Fall 1 certified enrollment, Report 1.1 (Enrollment of Primary Status by Subgroup)
5 Total # of Expulsions - Count of Expulsions where at least one offense is for Persistently Dangerous Offenses at School of Attendance
SIRS Field 19.14-Incident Result Code = 200 – Expulsion
Note- If a student commits two persistently dangerous offenses at the school of attendance as part of the same incident, the expulsion is only counted once
6 # of Expulsions / 100 Enrolled Students – Total # of Expulsions / (Total Certified Primary Enrollment/100)
7 # of Expulsions per Offense Code - Count of Expulsions at School of Attendance by the various SOFF Field 20.14 – Student Offense Codes
8 At Risk School – Y/N
Identify using: Fall 1 certified Primary Enrollment Count - LEA view
- For a school of fewer than 300 enrolled students (per the school's Fall 1 certified Primary Enrollment Count for the academic year - LEA view) the number of student expulsions in that academic year for any of the California Education Code violations delineated as a Persistently Dangerous Offense, is greater than three.
- For a larger school (per the school's Fall 1 certified Primary Enrollment Count for the academic year - LEA view) the number of student expulsions in that academic year for any of the Persistently Dangerous Offense California Education Code violations is greater than one per 100 enrolled students or a fraction thereof.
