Behavior Resolution Date Ranges

There are three different types of Resolution Date Ranges:

  • Resolution Assignment for One Date:

    • This means the student’s Resolution does not span more than one date. For instance, the data entry indicates the student was in ISS on 10/6 only, from 9:00 – 3:30.

  • Continuous Resolution Assignment for Multiple Dates:

    • The student began their Resolution assignment on one date, and it continued on to one or more dates. There are no breaks in instructional time for the Resolution. For instance, the data indicates the student was in ISS for three school days, from 10/6 – 10/8.

  • Resolution Assignment for Multiple Partial Days:

    • The student was assigned the Resolution for multiple days, but only for a portion of each day or attends school in the middle of the assigned days out. Each segment of time must be entered as a separate Resolution. The Resolution will display according to how many segments of time were assigned.
