# PURPOSE 

This document contains instructions for building XML files to submit
ED*Facts* Data Group: Children with Disabilities (IDEA) Disciplinary
Removals Tables, ID #598. The definition for this data group is in the
row "Table Name" in Table 4.2-1.

The data in this file specification is currently collected through Table
5/ "Report of Children with Disabilities Subject to Disciplinary
Removal" as reauthorized by the Individuals with Disabilities Education
Act (IDEA '04). Refer to the Appendix for a crosswalk between this file
and the applicable sections of Table 5.

A separate document contains the non-XML file formats. General guidance
for constructing all file types may be found in the ED*Facts* Workbook.

## Changes from the SY 2006--07 File Specifications

There have been changes to this file specification. These changes did
not result in changes to the record layout.

-   The term \"actions\" was replaced with \"removals\" in the file
    name.

-   Additional guidance was added to Section 2.0.

-   Appendix for IDEA (Discipline) -- ED*Facts* Crosswalk was added.

-   The definitions of the table name and the categories used in this
    file had minor editorial revisions.

## Requirements for Submitting this Data Group

The data group is submitted at the following levels:

-   SEA

-   LEA

The following table indicates the valid combinations of categories and
the subtotals and/or totals needed for this file. An "X" in the column
indicates that the column must be populated when reporting that
particular category. The total indicator must be either "Y" (Yes) or "N"
(No). If the record is for a detail count, specify an "N" (No). If the
record is for a subtotal or grand total, specify a "Y" (Yes).

# GUIDANCE FOR SUBMITTING THIS FILE

This file specification is used to collect the number of children with
disabilities ages 3 through 21 during the school year subject to
disciplinary removals for a length of time.

Additional guidance is below:

**What is the reporting period for this file?**

The reporting period for this file is the entire school year.

**What education units should be included in this file?**

Include all LEAs that reported child count data in N/X002 and/or N/X089
**and** reported a disciplinary removal.

**What education units should not be included in this file?**

Do not submit LEAs that did not report child count data in N/X002 and
N/X089.

**What is a disciplinary removal?**

[Any]{.underline} instance in which a child with a disability 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 the child or others.

**How do I track removal length?**

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

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

-   A child with greater than 0.5 and less than 1.5 cumulative days
    should be counted in the \"LTOREQ1\" category.

-   A child with greater than or equal to 1.5 and less than or equal
    to10.0 cumulative days should be added into the \"2TO10\" category.

-   A child with greater than 10.0 cumulative days should be counted in
    the "GREATER10" category.

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

**Is the count duplicated or unduplicated?**

This is an [unduplicated count]{.underline}. Each child should only be
reported once for each category set.

**Are parentally-placed private school students with disabilities
included?**

No. Parentally-placed students in a private school are [not]{.underline}
included in the discipline counts.

**How should I track multiracial students?**

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 included in the permitted values for
race/ethnicity. 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. If applicable, provide the number of students reported as
"multiracial" in the Explanations field (as a Data Note in DANS).

This may result in a post-submission error as the system compares the
counts across category sets. If you encounter such an error please
contact the Partner Support Center and the error can be turned off if
this is the cause.

**What part of DANS reports does this file populate?**

This file populates Table 5/Discipline: Report of Children with
Disabilities Subject to Disciplinary Removal (OMB \# 1820-0621). Several
files collect other IDEA discipline data:

-   N/X005 (ID# 512) is used to submit number of children who had
    removals to interim alternative education settings.

-   N/X006 (ID# 475) is used to submit number of children who had in- or
    out-of-school suspensions and expulsions.

-   N/X007 (ID# 476) is used to submit the number of removals of
    students to interim alternative education settings by school
    personnel by the reason for the removal.

-   N/X143 (ID# 682) is used to submit the total number of removals.

-   N/X144 (ID# 683) is used to submit data on provision of educational
    services to students who were expelled.

**What if my state has zero counts?**

For the SEA level submission, zero counts must be included for the
details, category sets and total.

For the LEA level submission, zero counts are not required.  In your
state\'s submission plan, include open LEAs that had zero counts for the
entire LEA in the count of LEAs expected to submit this data.

SEA level submission -- Zero counts must be included for the category
sets.

LEA level submissions -- Zero counts are not required.

**How should I handle Missing data?**

SEA level submission -- Submit data when data are available. If you
determine that one or more of the category sets are not available, note
in your state's submission plan which category sets are not available at
this time.

LEA level submissions --

-   If all counts for an LEA are missing, the LEA can be left out of the
    file. In your state's submission plan, include the LEA in the count
    of LEAs expected to submit the data. The records for that LEA should
    be submitted when data are available.

-   If counts are missing for some combinations of permitted values but
    not all, submit the data you have. Missing counts (-1) can be left
    out of the file. The file should be resubmitted when the remaining
    data are available.

**What if I have some LEAs that have complete category sets and some
have incomplete?**

Missing some of the data for some of the LEAs that results in incomplete
category sets (e.g., don't have LEP status) are treated as the entire
category set is missing. ESS does not allow some LEAs to submit
incomplete category sets while other LEAs submit complete category sets.

**Where can I find more information on this topic?**

See the ED*Facts* Workbook.

## Definition

The following definition supports this file: 

**Children with Disabilities (IDEA)**

A child with 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) or individual family service plan
(IFSP). [^1]

# 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 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.

## 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 3.1**-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 (IDEA), 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.

**Table 4.1-1: SEA, Category XML 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 (Removal
Length (IDEA), 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.
