For purposes of discipline data reported to TEA, the attendance/PEIMS data personnel are only responsible for entering information that has been provided to them by the Superintendent or their designee(s) who are responsible for applying the Student Code of Conduct to student behavior. In no case should attendance/PEIMS data personnel be responsible for determining a student's coding information for discipline actions taken.

A PEIMS 425 record must be reported for each disciplinary action that results in a removal of a student from any part of his her regular academic program. A single student will have multiple 425 records if removed from his classroom more than once. Every disciplinary action that results in the removal of a student from any part of his regular academic program will be categorized in one of the following general categories: In-School Suspension (ISS), Out-of-School Suspension (OSS), Expulsion, Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program (JJAEP), or DAEP assignments.
