[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids at our ES serve both in-school and out-of-school suspensions and DCPS actually tracks the number/percentage of suspensions at schools as one of their metrics, so I have no idea what "law" the PP is referring to that prohibits this.[/quote]

Copying from the Alice Deal thread:

(from the Fair Access to Schools Act)

[quote]
Beginning in school year 2019-2020, no student in grades kindergarten through 8 may be subject to an out-of-school suspension or disciplinary unenrollment, unless a school administrator determines, consistent with school policy, that the student has willfully caused, attempted to cause, or threatened to cause bodily injury or emotional distress to another person, including behavior that happens off school grounds;

Note that--as you said, PP--DCPS tracks suspensions, and as suspensions are viewed unfavorably, admins avoid them.

DCPS disincentives suspending kids.  It looks bad for the administration.  Couple actual physical violence with not paying teachers their retroactive pay on time and the teacher shortage is not surprising at all.[/quote]
