According to the report, the district expelled or suspended 10 students during the year. This equates to less than one percent of the 4,031 students enrolled.

Students were expelled for eight incidents with violence without physical injury, one incident with alcohol and tobacco, one incident with drugs.

The district reported that most in-school suspensions were given for violence without injury, of which there were eight. For six incidents, students were suspended for one to two days.

Boy students received 10 suspensions.

There were eight elementary or middle school students, and two high school students suspended in 2020-2021 school year.

Illinois ranks as the 5th state in terms of the overall number of schools and student enrollment among all states.

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.
