Abstract	This article shows that students tend to prosper in safe learning environments and that stakeholders are disturbed by the number of at-risk students that are being suspended and expelled from urban schools. The suspensions and expulsions result from repeated offenses, including disrespect and insubordination, gang fights, and possession of illegal narcotics and weapons charges, to name only a few. If at-risk students are not safe, we cannot soberly expect them to prosper and learn. Accordingly, stakeholders must work collectively to change this phenomenon. (As Provided).
