Arlington Heights School District 25 reported 27 suspensions or expulsions for the 2020-2021 school year, according to the latest student discipline report by the Illinois State Board of Education.

According to the report, the district expelled or suspended 27 students during the year. This equates to less than one percent of the 5,262 students enrolled.

Students were expelled for five incidents with violence that caused physical injury, nine incidents with violence without physical injury, 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 six. There were five incidents of unspecified reasons. For 13 incidents, students were suspended for one to two days.

Boy students received 24 suspensions, while three girls were suspended.

There were 27 elementary or middle school students suspended in 2020-2021 school year.

The district reported that most out-of-school suspensions were given for unspecified reasons, of which there were seven. There were four incidents of violence with injury. For nine incidents, students were suspended for one to two days.

Illinois ranks as the 5th state in terms of the overall number of schools and student enrollment among all states.

Illinois lawmakers enacted laws in 2015 to restrict schools from disciplining a disproportionate number of Black and minority students out of school and into the criminal justice system, often for minor misbehavior.
