Hawaii Behavior Admin Setup

Suspension Days Threshold

The Suspension Days Threshold field is a campus-calculated value based on the total number of instructional days in the calendar and divides it by two. The result of this calculation determines the instructional day on which the instructional calendar is midpoint in the year. For example, for a school year that has 180 instructional days, the halfway point is 90 days. The value in this field allows the Behavior module to track Total Suspension Days for students in the instructional calendar year.
