The report "Student Suspensions and Expulsions: 2005-06" is now available on the Research and Reporting website at http://studata.sandi.net/research/reports/susp0506.rpt.pdf. The report discusses suspension rates, in-school suspension rates, and expulsion rates over the years; presents data for demographic subgroups (ethnicity and gender) and special education students; breaks out data by grade level and grade ranges and by type of offense; and examines trends in length of suspension and its relationship to ethnicity, gender, and type of offense. The study found that suspension and expulsion rates both reached an "all-time" high in 2005-06 (based on 25 years of data for suspensions and 13 years for expulsions). The report also presents five years of data for individual district schools.
