According to the report, the district expelled or suspended 102 students during the year. This equates to less than one percent of the 10,932 students enrolled.
Students were expelled for 51 incidents with violence without physical injury, nine incidents with alcohol and tobacco, 14 incidents with drugs, three incidents with a dangerous weapon, other than a firearm.
Boy students received 53 suspensions, while 49 girls were suspended.
There were 65 elementary or middle school students, and 37 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 51. There were 25 incidents of unspecified reasons. For 44 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.
