ISES Discipline Collection

Data about suspensions, expulsions, and other removals will be collected as part of the Individual Student Enrollment System (ISES) beginning with the collection of 2006-07 discipline data in summer and fall 2007. These data elements will be added to ISES in response to a major expansion in discipline data reporting required by the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

ISES discipline data will be used not only to meet IDEA requirements but also the requirements of ESEA and Wisconsin School Performance Report (WI SPR). The latter requirements were met through 2005-06 by the Wisconsin School Performance Report aggregate discipline collection and other smaller collections. Note that habitual truancy, school-supported activities, post-graduation intentions will continue to be included in the WI SPR collection for the foreseeable future.

Most districts and schools will have until fall 2007 to submit the 2006-07 discipline data in ISES. Schools that might be identified as persistently dangerous, based on data for past years, may be required to submit 2006-07 discipline data by June 2007. This same schedule is expected to continue in future years.

For more detail see the 7/24/2006 memo that was sent by Richard Grobschmidt, Assistant State Superintendent, to all district superintendents on this topic at http://dpi.wi.gov/lbstat/esea072406.html.
