Hs 09

Northbrook School District 28 reported 16 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 16 students during the year. This equates to less than one percent of the 1,809 students enrolled.

The district reported that most in-school suspensions were given for unspecified reasons, of which there were 12. For nine incidents, students were suspended for one to two days.

Boy students received eight suspensions, while eight girls were suspended.

There were 16 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 four. For two incidents, students were suspended for a day or less.

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.
