Norridge School District 80 reported 55 suspensions or expulsions for the 2021-22 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 55 students during the year. This equates to five percent of the 1,052 students enrolled.

The district reported that most in-school suspensions were given for unspecified reasons, of which there were 50. For 31 incidents, students were suspended for two to three days.

Boy students received 49 suspensions, while six girls were suspended.

There were 55 elementary or middle school students suspended in 2021-22 school year.

The district reported that most out-of-school suspensions were given for unspecified reasons, of which there were five. For two incidents, students were suspended for four to 10 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.
