The purpose of these Student Disciplinary Action Summaries (SDAS) is to provide the number and rate of student disciplinary action reasons that occurred in HISD. The reports were created to comply with Senate Bill 1724, as described in Section 39.053 of the Texas Education Code. Specifically, it states that the annual reports must include a statement of the number, rate, and type of violent or criminal incidents that occurred on each district campus, information concerning school violence prevention and violence intervention policies and procedures that the district is using to protect students, and the findings that result from evaluations conducted under the Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act of 1994 (20 U.S.C. Section 7101 et seq.) and its subsequent amendments.
