During the 2012-13 school year, 1 out of 10 students experienced exclusionary discipline practices, including suspension and expulsion for attendance related matters. The number of African American and children with disabilities is 2-3 times higher. Such high rates of exclusion result in poor learning environments, lost instructional time, student disengagement, academic failure, drop out and increased risk of delinquency and juvenile justice involvement. On June 30, 2016, The Children’s Policy and Law Initiative (CPLI) released the Leaders Collaborating to Advance Positive School Discipline Summit Report and Recommendations. The Report and Recommendations are the work of over 90 educators, best practice experts, public policy officials, and key stakeholders from the Leaders Collaborating to Advance Positive School Discipline Summit in Indianapolis on October 6, 2015. Their work promises to serve as a collective vision and roadmap for Indiana educators and policy-makers for implementing positive school discipline strategies. A stakeholder meeting is planned for later in August to continue a community dialog and an action plan around the report and recommendations. The full report can be accessed through the link below.
