Greetings! As of Tuesday, December 17, 2019, the Disciplinary Incident Reporting System (DIRS) is open for online disciplinary incident submissions for the 2019-20 school year. The batch submission process will remain closed until further notice to allow software vendors time to modify code and deploy to customers. Several minor revisions were made to DIRS for the 2019-20 school year to improve data accuracy and the flow of online data entry. These changes do not change reporting requirements. Visit the DIRS webpage for a brief summary of the changes.
Access the DIRS webpage to log in to DIRS, view the DIRS User Guide, batch file upload instructions and other helpful links. Contact Carly Lykes at 651-582-8683 for questions about reporting requirements.
