1.0 PURPOSEThis document contains instructions for building fixed and delimited files to submit EDFacts Data Group: Students Involved with Firearms Table, DG596. The definition for this data group is in the row “Table Name” in Table 4.2-1.

A separate document contains the XML file formats. General guidance for constructing all file types may be found in the EDFacts Workbook.

The data collected using this file specification are used to monitor and report on the Gun-Free Schools Act.

1.1 Changes from the SY 2007-08 File Specifications

The guidance has been updated and other editorial changes have been made. These changes are listed in the document history on page ii. There have been no changes to the record layouts.

1.2 Requirements for Submitting this Data Group

This section contains two tables that summarize the reporting requirements. The first table contains the reporting period, the education units included or excluded, the type of count, and zero count reporting. The second table contains the required categories and applicable totals.

Table 1.2-1 Students Involved with Firearms, Core Reporting RequirementsSEA LEA School

Reporting Period Entire school yearEducation units reported

Include SEA Operational LEAs that had students involved with firearms

File not submitted at the school level

Education units not reported

Closed, inactive, or future LEAs;LEAs that did not have any students involved with firearms

Type of count Once for each student involved in a firearm incident 1

Once for each student involved in a firearm incident 1

Zero counts Required Not required

The following table indicates the valid combinations of categories and the subtotals and/or totals needed for this file. An “X” in the column indicates that the column must be populated when reporting that particular category. The total indicator must be ”N” because no subtotals or education unit totals are required for this file.

1 In rare events, a student could be involved in more than one firearm incident in the same state in the same school year, when that occurs report the student for each incident and include in the explanation that a student was reported more than once.
