Preventing Suspension and Expulsion | From the Disabilites Services Newsletter, suspension and expulsion of young children are widespread problems. Data shows preschool children are expelled at least three times more than school-aged children. Data consistently indicates large racial disparities, with young boys of color being suspended at disproportionately high rates. Data also suggests early expulsion or suspension predicts later expulsion or suspension. This means children who experience exclusionary discipline practices in preschool are more likely to experience suspension or expulsion in later years. |
