How to resolve violations

ODE states that while reporting this information, schools should

indicate, for students from Preschool to Grade 3, additional details on why a type of discipline of Expulsion or Out-of-School Suspension was assigned for a discipline incident. These reasons are selected from the drop down menu for the field PS-3 Discipline Reason. This field displays when a resolution is being entered for the student. (Screenshot below)
