[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The law absolutely allows kids to be suspended. EOTP MS suspend kids all the time. What DC also needs is a faster pathway to alternative schools for kids who engage in violence repeatedly. [/quote] +1, one of the reasons we left our EOTP elementary was discovering they had a high suspension rate (>5 suspensions per year), which means they have a lot of behavioral issues and that the current approach isn’t working. Agree we need alternative tracks for repeat issues— these kids need major intervention and the violence should be treated as a major issue that requires specialty instruction (that includes mental health support, classes in emotional regulation, and greater parent outreach and communication). Suspension doesn’t really work because schools wind up suspending the same kids over and over.[/quote]
