Purpose
To set forth the requirements school districts must use to report disruptive or criminal incidents to the Florida Department of Education so that the data can, in turn, be used in required state and federal reports. Amendments will address new requirements as a result of changes to Section 1006.07(9), Florida Statutes, which became effective upon becoming law on April 3, 2023. See Ch. 23-18, § 24, Laws of Florida. These changes are incorporated from emergency rule 6AER23-01 which was promulgated “to ensure that all reportable incidents that are crimes are reported to law enforcement as soon as practicable starting in the 2023-24 school year.” Other general matters relating to improving SESIR and discipline data quality, will also be considered.
