Disciplinary Incident Reporting SystemLearning Support :

The Disciplinary Incident Reporting System (DIRS) reporting system enables both the department and school districts to comply with state and federal reporting requirements for suspensions, expulsions, special education and dangerous weapons. DIRS is a web-based, password protected system through which all public school districts must report disciplinary incidents that result in either suspension or expulsion. This page contains important information about DIRS including deadlines and announcements.  

Below you will find a checklist detailing the types of actions and elements that must be reported and DIRS frequently asked questions.

DIRS is not yet operational for the 2009 school year. MDE will send an e-mail to the registered DIRS users when DIRS will be accessible for the 2009 school year. 

UPCOMING DEADLINES:
July 31st          All DIRS data must be submitted

Minnesota Statute Section 121A.06, Subdivision 3, requires the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) to annually report on disciplinary incidents, and incidents involving dangerous weapons, that occur in Minnesota public schools. Data for this report were obtained from MDE’s Disciplinary Incident Report System (DIRS). Below are copies of these reports.
