# FILE NAMING CONVENTION

Being able to readily identify any particular file transmission is an
important consideration for users of the EDEN Data Submission System.
Being able to identify a particular file can greatly facilitate any
technical assistance that may be requested by the state. A maximum of 25
characters (including the file extension) is allowed for the file name.
The following is the naming convention for Children with Disabilities
(IDEA) Disciplinary Removals transmittal file submissions:

sslev**CWDIDEADR**vvvvvvv.xml

Where:

> **ss** = Two-character USPS State Abbreviation for the submitting SEA.
>
> **lev** = Three-character abbreviation for the level submitted. Use:
>
> SEA for a State Education Agency Children with Disabilities (IDEA)
> Disciplinary Removals submission
>
> LEA for a Local Education Agency Children with Disabilities (IDEA)
> Disciplinary Removals submission
>
> **Filename** = **CWDIDEADR** (no more than nine characters).
>
> **vvvvvvv** = Up to seven-character alphanumeric string designated by
> the SEA to uniquely identify the individual submission (e.g., ver0001,
> v010803).
>
> **.xml** = The three-character file extension identifying the Data
> Records.

# GUIDANCE FOR SUBMITTING THIS FILE

This file specification collects the number of children with
disabilities ages 3 through 21 during the school year subject to
disciplinary removal.

Disciplinary removal is [any]{.underline} instance in which a child is
removed from his/her educational placement for disciplinary purposes,
including in-school suspension, out-of-school suspension, expulsion,
removal by school personnel to an interim alternative educational
setting for drug or weapon offenses or serious bodily injury, and
removal by hearing officer for likely injury to self or others.

The removal length (IDEA) is the cumulative length of removal during the
school year.

-   A child with 0.5 cumulative days or less should not be reported.

-   A child with 0.5 to 1.0 days should be counted in the \"LTOREQ1\"
    category.

-   A child with a cumulative days removed of 1.0 to 1.5 length should
    be added into the \"LTOREQ1\" category.

-   A child with a cumulative days removed of more than 1.5 to 10 length
    should be added into the \"2TO10\" category.

For example, a child who was suspended four times for three days each
during the school year, who has a cumulative length of removal of 12
cumulative days, would be reported once as greater than 10 days into the
\"GREATER10\" category.

Fields that are defined as "Number" can contain values with leading
zeros or without leading zeros. This applies to the following field:

-   "Total Records in File" in the Header

-   "File Record Number" in the Data Record

-   "Count" fields in the Data Record ( i.e., Teacher Count, Student
    Count)

There are several other file specifications that collect
discipline-related data on children with disabilities (IDEA). Section
4.4 ("Relationship among files") in the ED*Facts* Workbook explains how
the files relate to each other.

## Definition

Children with Disabilities (IDEA) -- Children having mental retardation,
hearing impairment including deafness, speech or language impairment,
visual impairment including blindness, serious emotional disturbance
(hereafter referred to as emotional disturbance), orthopedic impairment,
autism, traumatic brain injury, developmental delay, other health
impairment, specific learning disability, deaf-blindness, or multiple
disabilities, and who, by reason thereof, receive special education and
related services under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
(IDEA) according to an individualized education program (IEP),
individual family service plan (IFSP), or service plan. [^1]

Race/ethnicity -- For this data collection, the five permitted values
from Directive 15 are used for race/ethnicity. "Multiracial" and
race/ethnicities beyond the five in Directive 15 are [not]{.underline}
included in the permitted values. If your state uses values for
race/ethnicity not included in Directive 15 and those values cannot be
crosswalked to the five permitted values in Directive 15, then those
students are not reported in the detailed records; however, include
those students in the grand total.

## XML Specification Headings

The XML specifications are represented in a table with the headings:

-   Element -- name of the XML element tag.

-   Attribute -- name of the XML attribute tag.

-   Category Value -- name of the category.

-   Char -- the XML element or attribute characteristic as previously
    defined.

-   Definition/Comments -- definition and additional comments related to
    formats or other business rules.

-   Permitted Values -- disaggregated values for data elements.

The Char (characteristics) column in the XML format matrices accepts the
following codes:

**Table 3.2**-1: EDEN XML Format Codes

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
  **Code**      **Characteristic**
  ------------- ---------------------------------------------------------
  M             Mandatory Element/Attribute

  O             Optional

  C             Conditionally Required

  MR            Mandatory and Repeatable Element

  OR            Optional and Repeatable Element

  CR            Conditional and Repeatable Element
  -----------------------------------------------------------------------

# STATE EDUCATION AGENCY METRIC OBJECTS

In order to simplify the transmission process, the State Education
Agency (SEA) has been separated into three (3) distinct metric and file
transmit XML objects. The XML metric and file transmit objects are the
same structure regardless of the metric information being transmitted.
The structure contains a node that defines the State Agency
corresponding to the submitted metric. In addition, the structure
contains nodes representing characteristics of the metric (Removal
Length, Race/Ethnicity, etc.), the associated value, and whether the
metric value is a subtotal or grand total. The metric objects are
contained within the file transmission objects that define the group of
values being submitted.

## Category XML Object

The category XML object is used to define the characteristics associated
with a count. There may be zero, one, or more categories defined for a
count. The XML object matrix is followed by an example of the object.

## File Transmit XML Object

The file transmit object identifies the metric group being transmitted.
It also identifies whether the metric group is at the State Agency or
LEA level. Further, each metric group has an allowable set of Table
Types, categories, and category values that correspond to a particular
reporting period. This section defines the various file transmit objects
and valid metric combinations at the State Agency and LEA level.

# LOCAL EDUCATION AGENCY METRIC OBJECTS

In order to simplify the transmission process, the Local Education
Agency (LEA) has been separated into three (3) distinct metric and file
transmit XML objects. The XML metric and file transmit objects are the
same structure regardless of the metric information being transmitted.
The structure contains a node that defines the Local Education Agency
corresponding to the submitted metric. In addition, the structure
contains nodes representing characteristics of the metric
(Race/Ethnicity, Grade Level, etc.), the associated value, and whether
the metric value is a subtotal or grand total. The metric objects are
contained within the file transmission objects that define the group of
values being submitted.

## Category XML Object

The category XML object is used to define the characteristics associated
with a count. There may be zero, one, or more categories defined for a
count. The XML object matrix is followed by an example of the object.

## File Transmit XML Object

The file transmit object identifies the metric group being transmitted.
It also identifies whether the metric group is at the State Agency, or
LEA level. Further, each metric group has an allowable set of Table
Types, categories, and category values that correspond to a particular
reporting period. This section defines the various file transmit objects
and valid metric combinations at the State Agency and LEA level.
