[quote=Anonymous][quote]If the Department identifies a school’s discipline process as having a disproportionate impact on minority or special education students, the local school system shall prepare and present to the State Board a plan to reduce the disproportionate impact within 1 year and eliminate it within 3 years. [/quote] I think it is simply a fact that in many districts black and special ed kids get discipline actions more frequently. This policy seems to say that if that does occur, it needs to be changed. What is missing is any analysis of whether those kids are committing more infractions and THAT is why they are receiving more discipline actions. It simply does not make sense to simply assert that it must be prejudice that is causing this without allowing for the quite real possibility that those children are - for whatever reason - misbehaving more often.
