IN PERSPECTIVEWhat is iSTAR?On April 1, 2010, the Office of School Operations launched the IncidentSystem Tracking Accountability Report (iSTAR) database. This system givesschools and offices the ability to report incidents that occur on or near Districtfacilities or involve District students, employees, and/or the schoolcommunity so that the incident can be quickly resolved with minimaldisruption to the site. It provides a common framework in which staff fromvarious divisions can work together effectively to provide a standardizedresponse and the appropriate assistance to address the incident. iSTARcaptures specific incident information to allow the ability to find similaritiesand trends in incidents so that divisions can develop solutions and strategiesto address issues, improve response processes, and prevent futureincidents.
iSTAR Data Limitations– Not all incidents are reported– Some schools have yet to report an incident through iSTAR– Reporters incorrectly categorize incidents– Incidents are reported with incomplete information
Additional LAUSD Data Sources– Student Information Systems (SIS)– Office Referral Forms– Los Angeles School Police Reports– Expulsions Data – Student Discipline & Expulsion Support Unit– Risk Assessment Referral Data (RARDS) – Crisis Counseling &
Intervention Services School Mental Health– Accident/Injury Reports – Office of Environmental & Health Services
