VADIR - ANSWER Violent and Disruptive Incident Reporting; Federal law
requires each state to determine annually which public schools are "persistently

the school's K-12 enrollment. Each school district is required to submit Violent and
Disruptive Incident Reports (VADIR) for each school building on an annual basis.
