The online database appears to be a useful resource, but the NBC Bay Area Investigative Unit found some of the data is wrong.
And no one is monitoring the data.
To view the data click here. It is a state system made up of data
submitted by school districts across California, mandated by the No
Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). Schools are required to report firearm-related incidents, suspension and expulsions.
In California, PDS is based on the
number of expulsions recorded for specific violent offenses. If a school
expels a high enough number three years in a row, they're designated as
PDS.
No California school has received the PDS label since NCLB was implemented about a decade ago.
The investigation found numerous examples of districts submitting inaccurate information.
