Schools need to build protocols for how they respond to behavior that requires them to look at the root causes and needs of the student and provide support in addition to accountability/consequences. Schools also need to make a practice of looking at data to see who is being most impacted by exclusionary discipline practices and use that to reflect on needed shifts in practices.
