Abstract | The purpose of this policy brief is to describe the usage and trends of discipline for students with disabilities in Indiana to help inform local and state policymaking. The brief begins with a review of national and Indiana studies, followed by data that illustrate (1) how general and special education students compare with respect to suspension and expulsion; (2) the extent of use of the special disciplinary provisions under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA); (3) differences in suspension and expulsion rates for students in different disability categories; and (4) racial disparities in the use of IDEA disciplinary provisions. Information reported in this policy brief shows that: (1) Indiana's special education population is suspended out-of-school more often than the general education population, but they are less likely to be expelled; (2) Use of IDEA disciplinary provisions continues to be relatively infrequent, but may have increased slightly compared to four years ago; (3) Students identified with an emotional disability full-time are at a relatively high risk of being removed compared to other students with a disability; (4) Black students with a disability continue to be overrepresented in IDEA disciplinary provision use, and these disparities have increased compared to four years ago; (5) Racial disparity for Black students is most likely to be found in the IDEA disciplinary category other suspension/expulsion greater than 10 days; (6) Black students are relatively proportionally disciplined in the weapons/drugs and hearing officer determination categories; and (7) Some Indiana school corporations account for a highly disproportionate share of IDEA disciplinary use overall and for Black students in particular. (Contains 6 figures and 25 endnotes.) [This policy brief was produced by the Center for Evaluation and Education Policy, Indiana State University School of Education.] (ERIC). |
