The SIRS-110 Student Daily Suspension Accountability Report allows districts and schools to view data they reported in the Student Information Repository System (SIRS) that will be used to determine Suspension Rates for accountability. Suspensions (out-of-school) is an accountability measure that will be used to determine accountability status beginning in 2020-21 under New York State’s State Plan to comply with the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). Suspension rates are calculated by dividing the number of students reported in SIRS with one or more out-of-school suspensions as of the SIRS reporting deadline by the number of students enrolled on BEDS day (typically the first Wednesday in October) of the reporting year. Students reported in SIRS with any of the following Reason for Beginning Enrollment codes are included in this report: • 0011 (Enrollment in building or grade) • 5544 (Transferred in under the NCLB Title I “School in Improvement Status” transfer option) • 7000 (Transferred in under the NCLB “Persistently Dangerous School” transfer option) • 7011 (Transferred in under the NCLB “Victim of Serious Violent Incident” transfer option)
