ISBE Addressing Disproportionate Discipline In Schools
(Springfield, IL) — The Illinois State Board of Education is working to address the disproportionate number of minority students statewide that face school discipline.

Schools ranking in the top 20-percent of disproportionate suspensions will now be required to take corrective action.
