School Environmental Safety Incidents

School Environmental Safety Incidents

The number of school environmental safety incidents reported, including incidents considered severe enough to require the involvement of a school resource officer and incidents reported to law enforcement. The rate is the number of incidents divided by the number of enrolled students, expressed as a percent.

This measure is one of the ways safety in schools is monitored. The School Environmental Safety Incident Reporting (SESIR) System collects data on incidents of crime, violence, and disruptive behaviors that occur on school grounds, on school transportation, and at off-campus, school-sponsored events, during any 24-hour period, 365 days per year.

Data Note(s)

  • Chart will display if there are at least three years of data.

  • Multi-year counts are a sum of the selected years, not an average.

  • Quartiles are calculated when data is available for at least 51 counties.

  • MOV - Measure of Variability: Probable range of values resulting from random fluctuations in the number of events. Not calculated when numerator is below 5 or denominator is below 20, or count or rate is suppressed. The MOV is useful for comparing rates to a goal or standard. For example, if the absolute difference between the county rate and the statewide rate is less than the MOV, the county rate is not significantly different from the statewide rate (alpha level = 0.05). When the absolute difference between the county rate and the statewide rate is greater than the MOV, the county rate is significantly different from the statewide rate. MOV should not be used to determine if the rates of two different counties, or the county rates for two different years, are statistically significantly different.

  • Denom - abbreviated for Denominator.

  • Population estimates are not available for persons whose county of residence is unknown. Given this, the denominator and associated rate are not available.

  • * - Indicates the county rate is statistically significantly different from the statewide rate.

  • Data include sexual battery, battery, weapons possession, and fighting.
  • Data are for school years which vary by school district.
  • Data are totals for all grade levels.
  • Due to a reclassification of some violent acts in 2008, the total number of violent acts dropped substantially.
  • Blank cells indicate data are suppressed by county (school district) and grade if there are fewer than 10 students. Therefore the state total may exceed the sum of the counties.
  • This is secondary, quantitative data.
