Discipline Action Types

Action types are consequences assigned by a staff member to students on discipline incidents. SchoolInsight populates common action types, including state reportable actions for Illinois, Missouri, New Hampshire, or Oklahoma, and Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) action types. Admins can create new action types or edit existing actions to meet the school's disciplinary policies.

To create a new action type:

  1. Go to Main > Discipline > Action Types
  2. Create Action Type
  3. Enter a Description
  4. Choose the level/availability for the incident type:
    • Entire District: This permission group can be used on any role, school or district
    • School Type: This permission group can only be used at the specified school type, I.E. Elementary, Middle, High
    • Set of Schools: This permission group can only be used at the specified schools
    • Single School: This permission group can only be used at this specified school
  5. Configure the state code:
    • If the incident should not be reported to the state, leave this field blank; otherwise, select the state-recognized option
  6. Set Remove From Class to Yes if this action removes the student from their classes
  7. Reported on CRDC as
    • Select the CRDC corresponding code for this action, or
    • Choose Not Reported on the Civil Rights Data Collection, If the action should not be included in the CRDC reports
  8. (Optional) Set Available to Instructors, if instructors can select this action
  9. Save

You may want to make additional changes to the initial action types when setting up the discipline module for the first time. You can edit action types to match your school policy or delete them if they do not apply at your school. These changes can happen if they have never been used before. If an action is irrelevant after being used, you should archive it.

To edit an action type to rename it or deactivate/archive it:

  1. Go to Main > Discipline > Action Types
  2. Click edit next to the action type
  3. Make any desired changes
  4. Save

Deleting an action type is irreversible, so it is only available on action types that were not used before. If the action type was used in an incident, edit and deactivate it instead.

To permanently delete an action type: 

  1. Go to Main > Discipline > Action Types
  2. Delete the appropriate action
  3. Confirm Delete
  4. Save
