Abstract

The goals of the project were to identify strategies and interventions used by schools who met the district’s goals of reducing and maintaining suspension rates of 0-3% for all students, and Black students in particular, during the 2014-2015 school year. With support from district partners, the research team led a mixed methods study of low-suspending schools that involved analysis of district discipline records, interviews with school-based administrators, and focus groups with school staff.
