Student Discipline:Understanding the Context

Who is suspended or expelled?

According to state and national data, in many schools, male students, students of color, and students with disabilities are suspended and expelled more frequently than other students.

These trends warrant attention from schools, as well as OSPI, to work toward equitable outcomes for each student.

Schools must carefully review their student discipline data to consider whether discriminatory policies, procedures, or practices exist and to remedy them.

Composition Index:

The Desire Is Proportionality

• To have the percentage of suspensions who are boys to be equal their percentage in the student population.

40%/40% =1

• This desire would hold true for any group of students by race or program: 1 or close to 1 is the target
