We are committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of every student. To promote transparency, we provide annual reports on school discipline and the use of restraint. These reports give parents, families and the community a clear view of how discipline is being managed across our schools.
The data include important information about incidents of suspension and restraint, broken down by school, district and state levels. It helps us identify trends, maintain accountability, and work toward a positive and supportive school environment for all students. If you are looking to understand how discipline and restraint are tracked in schools, or want to know more about how we prioritize student safety, please see the reports below.
Reviewing the Discipline and Kaohi Nā hōʻike
Discipline and Kaohi Reports for the following school years: 2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25 are located in the PDF files below.
- The “total” report represents incidents that occurred during school year 2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25 and counts a student for each time they were involved in an incident that met the criteria for a data point (i.e., EL, SPED, in-school suspension, etc.).
- The unduplicated report represents the number of students involved in an incident in school year: 2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25 and only counts them once for each data point (i.e., EL, SPED, in-school suspension, etc.) they have met.
