The "Code of Virginia" requires school divisions
statewide to submit data to the Virginia Department of
Education (VDOE) on incidents of discipline, crime, and
violence (DCV). School divisions began reporting such
data in 1991. This annual report focuses primarily on DCV
data submitted for school year 2007-2008, with selected
comparisons to prior years. DCV data are used also to
complete federal reports required by the "Gun-Free
Schools Act of 1994" ("GFSA", Sec. 14061) and the
"Individuals with Disabilities Education Act" ("IDEA").
"GFSA" requires annual reporting of the number of
students suspended or expelled statewide for possessing
or bringing firearms on school property; "IDEA" contains
requirements for reporting disciplinary actions involving
students with disabilities. Section 22.1-279.3:1, "Code
of Virginia," and the "Gun-Free Schools Act," Sec. 14061
are included in Appendix A of this report. Virginia uses
incident-based reporting consistent with federal
standards. The reporting process employs a well-defined
set of nearly 130 offense codes and data elements that
are consistent with those recommended by the National
Center for Education Statistics and the National Forum on
Education Statistics. "Incidents" range in seriousness
from criminal acts that result in law enforcement action
to minor acts of misbehavior. A single incident may
involve more than one offense; an incident may also
involve multiple students and result in multiple
disciplinary actions. This report focuses on numbers of
incidents and numbers of disciplinary outcomes. Appended
are: (1) State and Federal Laws; (2) Offenses Required to
be Reported; (3) Offense Codes Used to Identify
Persistently Dangerous Schools; (4) Superintendent's
Memos; (5) All Incidents for All Regions by Offense
Codes, 2007-2008; and (6) Related Documents and
Information Resources. (Contains 1 chart, 29 tables and
40 footnotes.) [For "Annual Report: Discipline, Crime,
and Violence, School Year 2006-2007," see ED539426.]
