13 | State, including State-authorized charter schools. This report | ||||||

2 | issuance of out-of-school suspensions, expulsions, and | ||||||
3 | removals to alternative settings in lieu of another | ||||||
4 | disciplinary action, disaggregated by race and ethnicity, | ||||||
5 | gender, age, grade level, whether a student is an English | ||||||
6 | learner, whether a student qualifies for services under the | ||||||
7 | federal
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, incident | ||||||
8 | type, and discipline duration. The report shall
also include | ||||||
9 | data on the number of law enforcement
officers assigned to | ||||||
10 | schools within each district and the
number of arrests made by | ||||||
11 | law enforcement officers of
students on school grounds, in | ||||||
12 | school vehicles, at school
activities or school-sponsored | ||||||
13 | events, or as a result of
referrals by school officials, | ||||||
14 | disaggregated by race and
ethnicity, gender, age, grade level, | ||||||
15 | whether a student is
an English learner, whether a student | ||||||
16 | qualifies for
services under the federal Individuals with | ||||||
17 | Disabilities Education
Act, the offense for which the student | ||||||
18 | was
arrested, and the final disposition of the arrest. | ||||||
19 | (a-5) In compiling the report under subsection (a) of this | ||||||
20 | Section, the
State Board of Education shall use the same | ||||||
21 | disclosure
avoidance standards used by the U.S. Department of | ||||||
22 | Education in
its public reporting of the data submitted by each | ||||||
23 | school
district as part of the Civil Rights Data Collection. | ||||||
24 | The State Board of Education shall disaggregate the data by | ||||||
25 | each
individual grade level and shall disaggregate the data by | ||||||
26 | duration of less than or equal to one day, 2 days, 3
days, 4 |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | days, 5 days, 6 days, 7 days, 8 days, 9 days, 10 days,
and | ||||||
2 | greater than 10 days. The State Board of Education shall also | ||||||

4 | types: (i) disruption,
disrespect, or defiance of authority, | ||||||
5 | (ii) truancy, tardiness, cutting of class,
alcohol, threat, | ||||||
6 | fighting, or other violent offense, and (iii)
bullying or | ||||||
7 | harassment, dress code, drug or controlled
substance, theft, | ||||||
8 | property damage, tobacco, dangerous weapon, trespassing, or | ||||||
9 | any other similar incident. The
State Board of Education shall | ||||||
10 | ensure that cross-tabulation by
the various categories of | ||||||
11 | disaggregation is possible. | ||||||
12 | (b) The State Board of Education shall analyze the data | ||||||
13 | under subsection (a) of this Section on an annual basis and | ||||||
14 | determine the top 20% of school districts for the following | ||||||
15 | metrics: | ||||||
16 | (1) Total number of out-of-school suspensions divided | ||||||
17 | by the total district enrollment by the last school day in | ||||||
18 | September for the year in which the data was collected, | ||||||
19 | multiplied by 100. | ||||||
20 | (2) Total number of out-of-school expulsions divided | ||||||
21 | by the total district enrollment by the last school day in | ||||||
22 | September for the year in which the data was collected, | ||||||
23 | multiplied by 100. | ||||||
24 | (2.5) Total number of
school-based arrests divided
by | ||||||
25 | the total district
enrollment by the last school
day in | ||||||
26 | September for the year
in which the data was
collected, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | multiplied by 100. | ||||||
2 | (3) Racial disproportionality, defined as the | ||||||
3 | overrepresentation of students of color or white students | ||||||
4 | in comparison to the total number of students of color or | ||||||
5 | white students on October 1st of the school year in which | ||||||
6 | data are collected, with respect to the use of | ||||||
7 | out-of-school suspensions and expulsions, which must be | ||||||
8 | calculated using the same method as the U.S. Department of | ||||||
9 | Education's Office for Civil Rights uses. | ||||||
10 | The analysis must be based on data collected over 3 | ||||||
11 | consecutive school years, beginning with the 2014-2015 school | ||||||
12 | year. | ||||||
13 | The Beginning with the 2017-2018 school year, the State | ||||||

15 | that are identified in the top 20% of any of the metrics | ||||||
16 | described in this subsection (b) for 3 consecutive years to | ||||||
17 | submit a plan identifying the strategies the school district | ||||||
18 | will implement to reduce the use of exclusionary disciplinary | ||||||
19 | practices school-based arrests, or racial disproportionality | ||||||
20 | or both , if applicable. School districts that no longer meet | ||||||
21 | the criteria described in any of the metrics described in this | ||||||
22 | subsection (b) for 3 consecutive years shall no longer be | ||||||
23 | required to submit a plan. | ||||||

2 | districts, State-authorized charter schools, and special | ||||||
3 | charter districts that issued fewer than a total of 10 | ||||||
4 | out-of-school suspensions , or expulsions, or school-based | ||||||
5 | arrests, whichever is applicable, during the school year. The | ||||||
6 | calculation of the top 20% of the metric described in | ||||||
7 | subdivision (3) of this subsection (b) shall exclude all school | ||||||
8 | districts with an enrollment of fewer than 50 white students or | ||||||
9 | fewer than 50 students of color. | ||||||
10 | The plan must be approved at a public school board meeting | ||||||
11 | and posted on the school district's Internet website. Within | ||||||
12 | one year after being identified, the school district shall | ||||||
13 | submit to the State Board of Education and post on the | ||||||
