7b says: Reported to campus administrator for determination under Board Policy FFI (Local)? — and then two boxes, YES and NO.

That is the whole mechanism.

That single box is the difference between a conversation and a record.

A form with 7b ticked YES becomes a determination.

A determination gets a number.

A number gets counted.

Counted things appear in a report that goes to a board.

A form with 7b ticked NO, or left blank, is a piece of paper in a drawer in an office, and in three years it is in a box, and in seven it is not anywhere.
