Revised:

2006-2007 Student Discipline Information

1. All items 1-10 are valid for interdistrict transcript record transfer.
2. Send the latest 2 year's data. Receiving districts will need to store the data from the sending district and send it if the student moves within 2 years. Discipline information may be printed on Interdistrict transcripts. (See appx W for information on using the parameter with program SRTS12IS to print discipline data). District defined codes are not to be reported on FASTER unless there is a Discipline/Referral Action, in which case the incident should be reported as ZZZ.
3. The presence of LOW-VALUES in data fields causes significant problems for several institutions in the receipt of student records. A transaction will be rejected if non-displayable characters are sent in the data unless found in Filler Reserved for Local Use (last 9 bytes of each record type). Please use some other appropriate character (e.g., SPACES) with which to initialize your records before sending them.
4. Required fields are indicated by an asterisk (*) next to the field name.
5. Special characters, tilde (~), caret (^), and grave accent (`), are used as delimiters in the translation of FASTER to SPEEDE/ExPRESS. They are reserved symbols and as such cannot be included in data sent through FASTER to a SPEEDE/ExPRESS institution.
6. Added a new Incident Type, BHA (Bullying / Harrassment), for item 6, position 22-24.
