Students were expelled for two incidents with violence that caused physical injury, seven incidents with violence without physical injury, six incidents with alcohol and tobacco, one incident with drugs, one incident with a dangerous weapon, other than a firearm.
The district reported that most in-school suspensions were given for violence without injury, of which there were three. There were two incidents of unspecified reasons. For four incidents, students were suspended for one to two days.
Boy students received nine suspensions, while 12 girls were suspended.
There were 15 elementary or middle school students, and six high school students suspended in 2020-2021 school year.
The district reported that most out-of-school suspensions were given for tobacco, of which there were six. There were four incidents of violence without injury. For eight incidents, students were suspended for two to three days.
