Black students and students with disabilities remain more likely to receive out-of-school suspensions, despite overall declines

New analysis of the Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC) finds that black students and students with disabilities remain more likely to receive out-of-school suspensions, despite overall declines. The 2018 CRDC data mark the first time school-level reports of out-of-school suspension were available from every public school in the nation for three years (school years 2011-12, 2013-14, and 2015-16).
