School Discipline Data by Maria Jose Aragon https://padlet.com/aragonmj/bhn2k6de89bj164n Share something you learned! en-us 2021-08-30 04:32:10 UTC 2022-09-07 17:13:10 UTC hello@padlet.com I thought it was interesting how although black students remain students missing the most days of instruction, from 2011 to 2018 all trends have declined, showing that students altogether are losing less instruction time than they were losing in 2011 bharvick1 https://padlet.com/aragonmj/bhn2k6de89bj164n/wish/2286804643 2022-09-07 16:52:54 UTC https://padlet.com/aragonmj/bhn2k6de89bj164n/wish/2286804643 In SDCOE, Black students' days missed due to suspension (per 100) is 86.39 vs White students at 24.01. https://padlet.com/aragonmj/bhn2k6de89bj164n/wish/2286811566 2022-09-07 16:57:10 UTC https://padlet.com/aragonmj/bhn2k6de89bj164n/wish/2286811566 In the recommendation section of "Is California Doing Enough to Close the School Discipline Gap?" I thought it was interesting how they referred to schools making changes when they open up again (because of covid). This makes me wonder what specific changes they are hoping to see in regard to school discipline and accountability. gumarmol https://padlet.com/aragonmj/bhn2k6de89bj164n/wish/2286811978 2022-09-07 16:57:26 UTC https://padlet.com/aragonmj/bhn2k6de89bj164n/wish/2286811978 I thought it was interesting that on the graph for districts with the highest rates of referral to law enforcement included both the California school for the Blind AND the California school for the Deaf https://padlet.com/aragonmj/bhn2k6de89bj164n/wish/2286815168 This supports the existing data we saw in the slides, in which students with disabilities were disproportionately disciplined. ]]> 2022-09-07 16:59:11 UTC https://padlet.com/aragonmj/bhn2k6de89bj164n/wish/2286815168 https://padlet.com/aragonmj/bhn2k6de89bj164n/wish/2286815212 I was interested to see that a high support staff to student ratio at high schools led to a decrease in the rate of lost instruction for Black students.]]> 2022-09-07 16:59:12 UTC https://padlet.com/aragonmj/bhn2k6de89bj164n/wish/2286815212 It was interesting to learn about how the rate of lost instruction is not only attributed to poverty because the racial disparities profoundly contributed to the rate lost instruction. txgeng https://padlet.com/aragonmj/bhn2k6de89bj164n/wish/2286819103 2022-09-07 17:01:17 UTC https://padlet.com/aragonmj/bhn2k6de89bj164n/wish/2286819103 It's absolutely bonkers that Days Missed data for LA County Office of Education drastically increases from 25.9 (white students) to 279.8 (black students) but then LA Unified goes from 1.2 (white) to 5.5 (black) s5salazar https://padlet.com/aragonmj/bhn2k6de89bj164n/wish/2286819850 2022-09-07 17:01:43 UTC https://padlet.com/aragonmj/bhn2k6de89bj164n/wish/2286819850 I was curious on how the trend data tables had numbers over 100 when they said it was "# of students out of 100". So, how can the data go over that? https://padlet.com/aragonmj/bhn2k6de89bj164n/wish/2286822846 2022-09-07 17:03:42 UTC https://padlet.com/aragonmj/bhn2k6de89bj164n/wish/2286822846 k9lim https://padlet.com/aragonmj/bhn2k6de89bj164n/wish/2286823477 I thought it was interesting to see all of the data listed together for all of the districts in the state. I wonder how the numbers can compare since different districts are differently sized than each other.

Some look to suspend at a very low rate and others much higher. https://padlet.com/aragonmj/bhn2k6de89bj164n/wish/2286823630 2022-09-07 17:04:14 UTC https://padlet.com/aragonmj/bhn2k6de89bj164n/wish/2286823630 I noticed that California districts that either increased or decreased rates of expulsion/suspension typically had Black student rates change two to three times as much as other groups https://padlet.com/aragonmj/bhn2k6de89bj164n/wish/2286825561 2022-09-07 17:05:13 UTC https://padlet.com/aragonmj/bhn2k6de89bj164n/wish/2286825561 https://padlet.com/aragonmj/bhn2k6de89bj164n/wish/2286825937 For black students, the number of missed instruction days per 100 students show a decrease from 64 in 2011-12 to 36 in 2018-19. The decrease suggests that some districts are implementing disciplinary policies that decrease suspension days for black students in lieu of other disciplinary practices.]]> 2022-09-07 17:05:24 UTC https://padlet.com/aragonmj/bhn2k6de89bj164n/wish/2286825937 The California state accountability system for suspensions does not flag districts that are largely increasing in suspensions for the overall trend and can even show that the school is making improvements. https://padlet.com/aragonmj/bhn2k6de89bj164n/wish/2286827069 2022-09-07 17:05:54 UTC https://padlet.com/aragonmj/bhn2k6de89bj164n/wish/2286827069 In 2018-2019, high suspension rates are still happening despite the statewide reduction in suspensions for disruption/defiance. Districts with the largest racial gaps are still suspending students for the same reasons as before such as minor misconduct categories. Not much change is happening even with the statewide reductions which shows there needs to be continuous improvements being made https://padlet.com/aragonmj/bhn2k6de89bj164n/wish/2286827949 2022-09-07 17:06:17 UTC https://padlet.com/aragonmj/bhn2k6de89bj164n/wish/2286827949 It looks like the gap between black-white student suspensions per 100 has a much smaller skew towards white student suspensions in districts that are majority white rather than black student suspensions in districts that are majority, even a simple majority. This hints at a relationship between the racial diversity of a district and its racial suspension gaps. https://padlet.com/aragonmj/bhn2k6de89bj164n/wish/2286836762 2022-09-07 17:11:05 UTC https://padlet.com/aragonmj/bhn2k6de89bj164n/wish/2286836762
