Location Fact Template for Safe Schools
PIMS Location Fact Template for Safe Schools Specifications
LOCATION_FACTTemplate Description
This template is used to indicate that a school has no reportable School Safety incidents in the reporting year.
Reportable School Safety incidents are to be submitted in detail in the Discipline Domain templates (see the Discipline Domain section for more information on reportable incidents). Some schools (most often elementary schools) may not have any reportable School Safety incidents for the entire school year. In this situation an LEA must indicate such by submitting a record in this template for each school that does not have reportable incidents for the year.
