Students were expelled for two incidents with violence that caused physical injury, 16 incidents with violence without physical injury, three incidents with alcohol and tobacco, two incidents with drugs, one incident with a dangerous weapon, other than a firearm.
The district reported that most in-school suspensions were given for violence without injury, of which there were two. For two incidents, students were suspended for a day or less.
Boy students received 19 suspensions, while eight girls were suspended.
There were nine elementary or middle school students, and 18 high school students suspended in 2020-2021 school year.
