The Link Between Suspension and Dropout
By: Robyn Gee
This is a very interesting article I found regarding suspensions and dropout rates. Working in the field of special education, we work a great deal with the Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports discussed in the article. There are also a few other strategies that school districts are using to reduce the amount of suspensions. The strategy the Richmond High is using in California is very interesting. Really quick and informative read!
Great find Andrew! It would seem the the obvious that students who get suspended would have a greater likelihood of dropping out of school but this article really brought it out. It is certainly something school systems need to consider when determining the right discipline for a student.
