The Behavior Referral is used to report behavior incidents to behavior administrators. Incidents are then reviewed in the Behavior Management tool, where modifications can be made and resolutions assigned. Resolutions can also be assigned in the student Behavior tab. Incidents are made up of Events and Participants linked by time and location. See additional documentation regarding the Behavior module for more information.

This article describes the Event, Participant and Resolution editors that include state-specific elements used in reporting. The Event and Participant editors are available from both the Referral and the Management Tool and the Resolution editor is available from the Management Tool and the student's Behavior tab. In addition to the localized fields described in this article, some core dropdown lists may include localized options.
