| 1 | | (A) less than or equal to one day; | 2 | | (B) 2 days; | 3 | | (C) 3 days; | 4 | | (D) 4 days; | 5 | | (E) 5 days; | 6 | | (F) 6 days; | 7 | | (G) 7 days; | 8 | | (H) 8 days; | 9 | | (I) 9 days; or | 10 | | (J) 10 days. | 11 | | For durations longer than 10 days, the data must be reported by | 12 | | number of semesters. | 13 | | (a-20) The report compiled by the State Board of Education | 14 | | under subsection (a) must include all of the categories of | 15 | | data referenced in subsections (a-5) and (a-10).

|
| 1 | | and determine the top 20% of school districts for the | 2 | | following metrics: | 3 | | (1) The district's out-of-school suspension rate, as | 4 | | calculated by the U.S. Department of Education as part of | 5 | | the Civil Rights Data Collection. Total number of | 6 | | out-of-school suspensions divided by the total district | 7 | | enrollment by the last school day in September for the | 8 | | year in which the data was collected, multiplied by 100. | 9 | | (2) The district's expulsion rate, as calculated by | 10 | | the U.S. Department of Education as part of the Civil | 11 | | Rights Data Collection. Total number of out-of-school | 12 | | expulsions divided by the total district enrollment by the | 13 | | last school day in September for the year in which the data | 14 | | was collected, multiplied by 100. | 15 | | (3) The district's out-of-school suspension racial | 16 | | disproportionality rates, as calculated by the U.S. | 17 | | Department of Education as part of the Civil Rights Data | 18 | | Collection. Racial disproportionality, defined as the | 19 | | overrepresentation of students of color or white students | 20 | | in comparison to the total number of students of color or | 21 | | white students on October 1st of the school year in which | 22 | | data are collected, with respect to the use of | 23 | | out-of-school suspensions and expulsions, which must be | 24 | | calculated using the same method as the U.S. Department of | 25 | | Education's Office for Civil Rights uses. | 26 | | The analysis must be based on data collected over 3 |
| | | 10200SB2091sam001 | - 6 - | LRB102 16366 CMG 25351 a |
|
| 1 | | consecutive school years, beginning with the 2014-2015 school | 2 | | year. | 3 | | The State Board of Education shall annually publish a list | 4 | | identifying each school district with an out-of-school | 5 | | suspension rate greater than 4.2, an expulsion rate greater | 6 | | than 0.05, or an out-of-school suspension racial | 7 | | disproportionality rate greater than 1.5, which rates must be | 8 | | referred to as the identified metrics. This calculation must | 9 | | exclude all school districts for which the relevant number of | 10 | | out-of-school suspensions or expulsions was one for 3 | 11 | | consecutive years in the same category. | 12 | | Beginning with the 2020-2021 school year and for each | 13 | | school year thereafter, the State Board of Education must | 14 | | identify each district that met at least one of the identified | 15 | | metrics during that school year and the 2 preceding school | 16 | | years. The State Board must require each of the school | 17 | | districts that are identified to submit a school discipline | 18 | | improvement plan identifying the strategies the school | 19 | | district will implement to reduce the use of the disciplinary | 20 | | practices that resulted in it exceeding the identified metrics | 21 | | during the 3-year period. | 22 | | Beginning with the 2017-2018 school year, the State Board | 23 | | of Education shall require each of the school districts that | 24 | | are identified in the top 20% of any of the metrics described | 25 | | in this subsection (b) for 3 consecutive years to submit a plan | 26 | | identifying the strategies the school district will implement |
| | | 10200SB2091sam001 | - 7 - | LRB102 16366 CMG 25351 a |
|
| 1 | | to reduce the use of exclusionary disciplinary practices or | 2 | | racial disproportionality or both, if applicable. School | 3 | | districts that no longer meet the criteria described in any of | 4 | | the metrics described in this subsection (b) for 3 consecutive | 5 | | years shall no longer be required to submit a plan. | 6 | | This plan may be combined with any other improvement plans | 7 | | required under federal or State law. | 8 | | The calculation of the top 20% of any of the metrics | 9 | | described in this subsection (b) shall exclude all school | 10 | | districts, State-authorized charter schools, and special | 11 | | charter districts that issued fewer than a total of 10 | 12 | | out-of-school suspensions or expulsions, whichever is | 13 | | applicable, during the school year. The calculation of the top | 14 | | 20% of the metric described in subdivision (3) of this | 15 | | subsection (b) shall exclude all school districts with an | 16 | | enrollment of fewer than 50 white students or fewer than 50 | 17 | | students of color. | 18 | | The school discipline improvement plan must be approved at | 19 | | a public school board meeting and posted on the school | 20 | | district's Internet website. The plan must also be submitted | 21 | | to the State Board of Education on or before June 30 of each | 22 | | year and posted on the State Board's Internet website. If the | 23 | | school district is required to submit a school discipline | 24 | | improvement plan for 2 or more consecutive years, its | 25 | | successive plans must also include a progress report | 26 | | describing the implementation of the previous plan or plans |
| | | 10200SB2091sam001 | - 8 - | LRB102 16366 CMG 25351 a |
|
| 1 | | Within one year after being identified, the school district | 2 | | shall submit to the State Board of Education and post on the | 3 | | district's Internet website a progress report describing the | 4 | | implementation of the plan and the results achieved.
