Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is SPPS changing to an electronic referral time?
SPPS must adhere to the legal obligation we have to maintain accurate student records that account for lost instructional time. The move to an electronic referral form will help establish and maintain standardized systems and practices across all schools.
-
Why are referrals for behaviors that do not involve suspension or dismissal documented in Campus?
While we must document out of school suspensions, there is also a need for accurate and reliable data that documents lost instructional time. School teams are then able to review this data and engage in continuous improvement in real time (via SWIS Data Reports, including SWIS Equity Reports). The goal is to identify and interrupt disparities in discipline practices, systems, and data and the school level.
-
Will a user be able to get a report or list of the Office Discipline Referrals for Lost Instructional Time that they submitted?
No, the custom website does not keep data or have the capacity to do this. This type of information is available on the School Wide Information System (SWIS). Every school has a SWIS account and school principals can access this data.
-
Will the user receive a follow up message containing information regarding how the referral was resolved?
No, users will not receive this information. The outcome or resolution of a discipline referral is educational data and is classified as “private” data. Private educational data may be shared within the school district on a limited basis and only when there is “legitimate educational interests”. This will not apply to all discipline referrals, so there is not an automatic feedback loop built into this custom website.
-
What device can be used to submit an Office Discipline Referral for Lost Instructional Time?
Users may use laptop or desktop computers, iPads, smart phones to submit referrals. It is important to note that Staff must be on SPPS Wifi to enter a referral on the Custom Website.
-
Can a user change the date and time of the incident, if needed?
Yes, the date and time automatically populates to the current date and time, but it can be adjusted to accurately reflect the time of the incident. It is best practice to submit the referral as close as possible to the time of the incident.
