According to the report, the district expelled or suspended 14 students during the year. This equates to less than one percent of the 15,179 students enrolled.

Students were expelled for 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 unspecified reasons, of which there were four. For four incidents, students were suspended for one to two days.

Boy students received 12 suspensions, while two girls were suspended.

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.
