Nikki Biddings reviewed discipline metrics covering the Oct. 21, 2024 to Oct. 21, 2025 reporting window and explained program definitions (DAEP/discipline alternative education placement, JJAE(P), ISS/OSS, CAPE). She noted coding changes that reclassified some placements onto a separate campus code and attributed declines in out‑of‑school suspension (OSS) and DAE placements to intentional campus interventions, progressive discipline and efforts to keep students connected to instruction.
Trustees asked for clarity on reporting windows and whether the slides compared start‑of‑school‑to‑Oct. 21 for each year; Biddings confirmed the comparison period and said the district expects the intentional approach to continue producing differentiated results. Trustee questions also probed discretionary vs. mandatory arrests and how the district determines when law‑enforcement involvement is necessary.
No formal action was taken; the discipline presentation was informational. Trustees asked staff to provide broader year‑to‑date totals and trend context for future meetings.
