(UCA 53E‐3‐516 and R277‐912), and bullying and hazing re‐ quirements (UCA 53G‐9‐606 and R277‐613) . Following this brief introduction, you will find key findings, methods, and results. This report presents counts, rates, and trends, as well as information about the stu‐ dents involved in incidents, disciplines, and law enforcement activities. It also includes types of incidents in which students were involved, along with the type and severity of disciplines. Additionally, it highlights inci‐ dents associated with bullying, and provides counts of emergency safety interventions by incident type. We offer no discussion, conclusion, or recommendations. Interested readers should look beyond the selected key findings and pay careful attention to the tables and figures within this report.  \nStarting in school year (SY) 2017, representatives from the Utah State Board of Education (USBE) and Local Education Agencies (LEAs) have collaborated to improve the completeness and quality of behavioral inci‐ dent and discipline data. National data, Student Health and Risk Prevention (SHARP) survey results, and anecdotal information from schools has supported the belief that Utah’s behavioral incident data are likely underreported to USBE. We believe the primary reasons for this include complications related to incident data tracking software and student information systems, a need for clear directives from USBEon what constitutes a reportable incident, and misunderstandings about what the data can and will be used for. As a result of efforts to improve data completeness and quality, there was a large increase in the number of incidents reported to USBE in SY 2018, and steady increases through SY 2020. We believe that the decrease in incidents reported in SY 2021 was likely a result of changes in school schedule","cbCaibFRbRemqvOf","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibFRbRemqvOf","pdf",5506782,37,"English","# Introduction\n# Key Findings\n# Methods\n# Data\n# Analyses\n# Results\n## Incidents\n## Disciplines\n## Law Enforcement Activity\n## Appendix A","[{\"question\":\"What entities and data systems does the report describe as supporting incident and discipline reporting?\",\"answer\":\"The report describes collaboration between representatives from the Utah State Board of Education and local education agencies, and references issues involving incident data tracking software and student information systems.\"},{\"question\":\"What key coverage and counts are reported for school year 2025?\",\"answer\":\"Nearly all LEAs (97.4%) reported one or more incidents, with 88,434 records of primary infractions and 31,556 disciplines reported from 19,294 students.\"},{\"question\":\"How did emergency safety interventions change in 2025 compared with 2024?\",\"answer\":\"Physical restraint increased from 737 to 1,153, and seclusion increased from 1,008 times to 1,148 times in 2025 versus 2024.\"}]","2025 School Disciplinary and Law Enforcement Action Report - Key Findings Methods and Results | PDF",1792064369,93]
