According to the report, the district expelled or suspended 31 students during the year. This equates to less than one percent of the 4,978 students enrolled.
Students were expelled for one incident with violence that caused physical injury, 12 incidents with violence without physical injury, two incidents with alcohol and tobacco, one incident with drugs, four incidents with a dangerous weapon, other than a firearm.
Boy students received 23 suspensions, while eight girls were suspended.
There were 23 elementary or middle school students, and eight high school students suspended in 2020-2021 school year.
The district reported that most out-of-school suspensions were given for violence without injury, of which there were 12. There were 11 incidents of unspecified reasons. For 16 incidents, students were suspended for one to two days.
Illinois lawmakers enacted laws in 2015 to restrict schools from disciplining a disproportionate number of Black and minority students out of school and into the criminal justice system, often for minor misbehavior.
