[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools are really not allowed to suspend and expel students anymore baring extreme circumstances. If a student was throwing things in the classroom, aggressively menacing teachers and other students, yelling vulgarities and threats, a school could physically remove the student from class and put them in a room away from other students. You can't do that anymore and students realize it.

When schools can no longer effectively discipline students then chaos reigns. [/quote]

Why can’t KIPP expel? Because they are a charter?

Another perfect example of why quality education is reserved for the wealthy who can afford private. [/quote]

No, it's not because they're a charter. OSSE, which has jurisdiction over both DCPS and charters, has been making it a lot more difficult to suspend and expel in recent years. From their whole-city perspective, moving kids from school to school doesn't actually help anything. There's also a city law (Student Fair Access to School Act) that had some changes in 2018. https://code.dccouncil.gov/us/dc/council/laws/22-157

Having said that, it totally still is possible to suspend and expel middle and high school students-- I'm not sure about elementary expulsions. It's just a lot of paperwork and a timeline with appeals etc. [/quote]

This is something I'd like to see coverage of. Is anything out there?[/quote]
