Special Ed

Allows you to indicate whether or not this student is a special needs student. In many cases, special needs students cannot be suspended more than a certain number of days. This flag alerts the person entering discipline to the situation. Fields for this section of the window are created by the user under Setup-Discipline. Some schools list the fields as Limited Suspensions or Limited Detentions instead of labeling the student himself.

This field is used to indicate that an infraction has been entered but has not been edited by the recipient. For example, a teacher might send a student to the office for fighting in class. That teacher could enter the infraction in the database and mark it as pending. The administrator receiving the student would search for Pending items, open up the infraction record and edit it with the Action Taken.

Closed

Indicates that an infraction record is closed or has been completed. This would indicate that all of the necessary data has been entered and that the student has fulfilled whatever the agreed upon consequences are.
