3 | removals to alternative settings in lieu of another | ||||||
4 | disciplinary action and the total number of school days missed | ||||||
5 | by a student due to an out-of-school suspension or expulsion , | ||||||
6 | disaggregated by race and ethnicity, gender, age, individual | ||||||
7 | grade level, whether a student is an English learner, whether a | ||||||
8 | student qualifies for services under the federal Individuals | ||||||
9 | with Disabilities Education Act, incident type, and discipline | ||||||
10 | duration. The report shall also include data on the number of | ||||||
11 | arrests made by law enforcement officers of students on school | ||||||
12 | grounds, in school vehicles, at school activities or | ||||||
13 | school-sanctioned events, or as a result of referrals by school | ||||||
14 | officials, disaggregated by race and ethnicity, gender, age, | ||||||
15 | individual grade level, whether a student is an English | ||||||
16 | learner, whether a student qualifies for services under the | ||||||
17 | federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, the | ||||||
18 | offense for which the student was arrested, and the final | ||||||
19 | disposition of the arrest. | ||||||
20 | In compiling the report under this subsection, the State | ||||||
21 | Board of Education must also disaggregate the data by the total | ||||||
22 | number of school days missed by a student as follows: by less | ||||||
23 | than or equal to one day, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 6 | ||||||
24 | days, 7 days, 8 days, 9 days, 10 days, 11 through 30 days, 31 | ||||||

| |||||||
| |||||||

5 | (2) Truancy, tardiness, or class-cutting. | ||||||

20 | In compiling the report under this subsection, the State | ||||||
21 | Board of Education must also disaggregate the data on the | ||||||
22 | issuance of school-based arrests by the criminal offense for | ||||||
23 | which the student was arrested. | ||||||
24 | (a-5) In compiling the report under subsection (a), the | ||||||
25 | State Board of Education must use the same disclosure avoidance | ||||||
26 | standards used by the United States Department of Education in |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | its public reporting of data submitted by each school district | ||||||
2 | as part of the Civil Rights Data Collection. The State Board | ||||||
3 | must also ensure that cross-tabulation by the various | ||||||
4 | categories of disaggregation is possible. | ||||||
5 | (b) The State Board of Education shall analyze the data | ||||||
6 | under subsection (a) of this Section on an annual basis and | ||||||
7 | determine the top 20% of elementary school districts, high | ||||||
8 | school districts, and unit school districts for the following | ||||||
9 | metrics: | ||||||
10 | (1) Total number of out-of-school suspensions divided | ||||||
11 | by the total district enrollment by the last school day in | ||||||
12 | September for the year in which the data was collected, | ||||||
13 | multiplied by 100. | ||||||
14 | (2) Total number of out-of-school expulsions divided | ||||||
15 | by the total district enrollment by the last school day in | ||||||
16 | September for the year in which the data was collected, | ||||||
17 | multiplied by 100. | ||||||
18 | (2.5) Total number of school-based arrests divided by | ||||||
19 | the total district enrollment by the last school day in | ||||||
20 | September for the year in which the data was collected, | ||||||
21 | multiplied by 100. | ||||||
22 | (3) Racial disproportionality, defined as the | ||||||
23 | overrepresentation of students of color or white students | ||||||
24 | in comparison to the total number of students of color or | ||||||
25 | white students on October 1st of the school year in which | ||||||
26 | data are collected, with respect to the use of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | out-of-school suspensions and expulsions, which must be | ||||||
2 | calculated using the same method as the U.S. Department of | ||||||
3 | Education's Office for Civil Rights uses. | ||||||
4 | The analysis must be based on data collected over 3 | ||||||
5 | consecutive school years, beginning with the 2014-2015 school | ||||||
6 | year. | ||||||
7 | Beginning with the 2017-2018 school year, the State Board | ||||||
8 | of Education shall require each of the school districts that | ||||||
9 | are identified in the top 20% of any of the metrics described | ||||||
10 | in this subsection (b) for 3 consecutive years to submit a plan | ||||||
11 | identifying the strategies the school district will implement | ||||||
12 | to reduce the use of exclusionary disciplinary practices , | ||||||
13 | school-based arrests, or racial disproportionality or both , if | ||||||
14 | applicable. School districts that no longer meet the criteria | ||||||
15 | described in any of the metrics described in this subsection | ||||||
16 | (b) for 3 consecutive years shall no longer be required to | ||||||
17 | submit a plan. | ||||||
18 | This plan may be combined with any other improvement plans | ||||||
19 | required under federal or State law. | ||||||
20 | The calculation of the top 20% of any of the metrics | ||||||
21 | described in this subsection (b) shall exclude all school | ||||||
22 | districts, State-authorized charter schools, and special | ||||||
23 | charter districts that issued fewer than a total of 10 | ||||||
24 | out-of-school suspensions or expulsions or school-based | ||||||
25 | arrests , whichever is applicable, during the school year. The | ||||||
26 | calculation of the top 20% of the metric described in |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | subdivision (3) of this subsection (b) shall exclude all school | ||||||
2 | districts with an enrollment of fewer than 50 white students or | ||||||
3 | fewer than 50 students of color. | ||||||
4 | The plan must be approved at a public school board meeting | ||||||
5 | and posted on the school district's Internet website. Within | ||||||
6 | one year after being identified, the school district shall | ||||||
7 | submit to the State Board of Education and post on the | ||||||
8 | district's Internet website a progress report describing the | ||||||
9 | implementation of the plan and the results achieved.
