Create a secondary option on the Discipline violation as to whether or not the violation resulted in an injury
Many districts are over reporting injuries as a result of a change made to the way that CALPADS discipline codes are interpreted. The 501 code, "Caused, Attempted, or Threatened Physical Injury," is automatically assumed to have resulted in an injury. There is not a way to say that the action simply attempted or threatened injury. We need a way to say whether or not this code actually resulted in an injury. If we had that option, on the CALPADS code translation table, we could decide if it was then reported as a 501 (injury) or 504 (no injury).
