Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to share descriptive data about Office Discipline Referrals ({ODRs)} in a sample of 112 high schools that used the School-wide Information System ({SWIS)} database to collect discipline data during the 2005-2006 academic year. The findings were that tardies, defiance/disrespect and skip/truancy were the most common types of {ODRs} generated at the high school level. Those in the freshman class were the most likely of all students to receive an {ODR}, and the majority of those students who generated multiple referrals requiring intensive behavior supports (e.g., 6 or more {ODRs)}, did so by mid-winter of the academic year.
