The district removed four students to alternative settings instead of suspending or expelling them. This equates to less than one percent of the 1,451 students enrolled.
Students were expelled for four incidents with violence that caused physical injury, 29 incidents with violence without physical injury, 14 incidents with alcohol and tobacco, three incidents with drugs, one incident with a dangerous weapon, other than a firearm.
The district reported that most in-school suspensions were given for unspecified reasons, of which there were 50. There were six incidents of violence without injury. For 54 incidents, students were suspended for one to two days.
Boy students received 103 suspensions, while 28 girls were suspended.
There were 87 elementary or middle school students, and 44 high school students suspended in 2020-2021 school year.
The district reported that most out-of-school suspensions were given for unspecified reasons, of which there were 30. There were 23 incidents of violence without injury. For 23 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.
