  1. Executive Summary • Since the 2005-06 school year, there has been a decrease in number of suspensions issued and student expulsions even as the number of students enrolled in the district has increased. • However, there were 90 more suspensions issued in 2008-09 than in 2007-08. • The number of students expelled have steadily decreased. Specifically, there were 40 fewer expulsions based on violations committed in 2008-09 than in 2005-06. • During this same four-year period, there has been significant disparities in the percentage of enrollment and percentage of suspension incidents and expulsions for the following groups: • African American students continue to be significantly over-represented in both suspensions (16+ point differential) and expulsions (18+ point differential). • White students continue to be significantly under-represented in both suspensions (6+ point differential) and expulsions (9+ point differential). • Female students continue to be significantly under-represented in both suspensions (21+ point differential) and expulsions (23+ point differential). • Male students continue to be significantly over-represented in both suspensions (21+ point differential) and expulsions (23+ point differential). • At least 43% of suspensions and 57% of expulsions were related to high school disciplinary issues. Since 2006-07, these numbers have been trending higher. • Since the district’s 2 Fight/3 Fight Rule was implemented in 2005-06, the number and percent of expulsions resulting from its implementation has steadily decreased.

  2. Executive Summary Next Steps District staff is working with site administrators to accomplish the following: • Reviewing strategies currently in place to reduce the over-representation of African American and Hispanic/Latino students in suspensions and expulsion where a disproportionality exists. • Developing action plans to reduce the number of students suspended and expelled in over-represented subgroups by at least 5%. • Sharing of successful strategies at administrator meetings. • Encouraging the continued sensitivity to diversity. • Establishing community partnerships to promote increasing student achievement in a welcoming and supportive school environment. • Conducting focus groups with parents and families aimed at reducing the over-representation of African American and Hispanic/Latino students in suspensions and expulsion where a disproportionality exists.
