The Behavior Attendance Audit is a report that checks for data accuracy when a behavior incident could affect the students' attendance. This document covers the most common, but not all, data entry mistakes that will cause a resolution error to appear on this report. When the Behavior Attendance Audit report is generated the report should be reviewed by all users that enter behavior resolution data.
When entering a Resolution that uses the following resolution types, certain fields are required to prevent an error from appearing on the Behavior Attendance Audit Report.
The data entered into the Resolution Details directly affects a student’s attendance when the above resolution types are used. If the data is inaccurate or the attendance does not reflect this information, the resolution will appear on the Behavior Attendance Audit. The Behavior Resolution Matrix was developed to assist in deciding which dates and codes should be used. Use the link provided below for quick access to the matrix (also found on the last page of this documentation).
The fields numbered above show the required entries needed.
One of the most common mistakes made during Behavior Resolution data entry is a missing Attendance Code (number 6 above) and not using the “Check for attendance conflicts” button at the bottom of the resolution screen. Many items will be resolved by double-checking these two items.
Behavior Resolutions without a selected corresponding Attendance Code
Typically, Items listed in this section of the report have a resolution code that will affect the student’s attendance. The information entered on the resolution is not reflected in the student’s attendance.
- Check the Resolution Start Date and Time and the End Date and Time.
- For Hearings where the student will not be removed from the educational process the Resolution Start Date and Time AND the End Date and Time should be left blank.
b. For Hearings where the student will be removed from the educational process the Resolution Start Date and Time AND the End Date and Time are required fields.
2. If the Resolution Dates and Times are correct AND the Attendance Code is correct, use the “Check for Attendance Conflicts” button at the bottom of the resolution.
Where appropriate change the drop down to “Overwrite Existing attendance”.
3. If the Resolution dates and times are correct - Make sure that the appropriate attendance code was selected.
Attendance without any corresponding Behavior Resolution
Typically, items are listed in this section of the report when an behavior code is used for Attendance but there is no behavior resolution entered.
The attendance codes, ISS, PALS, RMV, OSS and OSW should only be entered using the behavior management tool. These codes should not be assigned directly in attendance.
In the example below the student was marked “RMV” using the attendance wizard. The same student’s behavior tab does not show a behavior incident for 11/10/15. To correct this a behavior incident and resolution will need to be created or the attendance code corrected if used in error.
