The U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights (OCR) and the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division (Justice) jointly released the Resource on Confronting Racial Discrimination in Student Discipline. The Resource describes how the departments addressed concerns of discrimination in schools’ use of out-of-school suspensions, expulsions, school-based arrests, referrals to law enforcement, involuntary discipline transfers, informal removals, and other types of discipline against Black, Latino, and/or Native American students. The Resource also describes how school districts can improve their administration of student discipline.
