According to the report, the district expelled or suspended 13 students during the year. This equates to less than one percent of the 6,642 students enrolled.
Students were expelled for six incidents with violence that caused physical injury, one incident with alcohol and tobacco, five incidents with drugs, one incident with a dangerous weapon, other than a firearm.
Boy students received 11 suspensions, while two girls were suspended.
There were 13 high school students suspended in 2020-2021 school year.
The district reported that most out-of-school suspensions were given for violence with injury, of which there were six. There were five incidents of drug offense. For five 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.
