Date range

Filters on the incident date when known (exact day), otherwise the date first reported. Dates are calendar days in Pacific time; "Last 30 days" includes today; "Last 6 months" starts on the same day of the month 6 months ago (or that month's last day, e.g. Aug 31 → Feb 28/29) and includes today. Events with neither date appear only under "All time".

Status badges show where an event stands (alleged, under investigation, charged, lawsuit filed, official finding). They never mean guilt. We never publish names or identifying details of students.

School district borders School district borders (unified + elementary) Also show secondary (high school) districts (dashed)

Hover or tap a district to see its name. In parts of California, elementary and secondary (high school) districts overlap, so one place can belong to both. Colors only tell neighbors apart and mean nothing else. Boundaries are simplified and approximate. Source: NCES EDGE School District Boundaries, SY 2024-25.
