The Code of Virginia requires school divisions statewide to submit data annually to the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) on incidents of discipline, crime, and violence. Incidents reported include those that occurred on school property, on a school bus, or at a school-sponsored activity. The federal Gun-Free Schools Act of 1994 (GFSA, Sec. 14061) also requires all states that receive federal funds to report annually the number of students suspended or expelled statewide for the possession of firearms on school property. Section 22.1-279.3:1, Code of Virginia and the Gun-Free Schools Act, Sec. 14061 are included in Appendix A of this report. Virginia uses incident-based reporting consistent with federal standards. The reporting process employs a set of offense definitions and a system of offense codes that are consistent with recommendations of the National Center for Education Statistics and the National Forum on Education Statistics. "Incidents" range from criminal acts that result in law enforcement action to misbehavior disruptive to a classroom. A single incident may involve multiple students and could result in multiple disciplinary actions.
