Hs 09

Century Community Unit School District 100 reported seven suspensions or expulsions for the 2020-2021 school year, according to the latest student discipline report by the Illinois State Board of Education.

According to the report, the district expelled or suspended 7 students during the year. This equates to two percent of the 347 students enrolled.

Students were expelled for one incident with violence without physical injury, one incident with alcohol and tobacco.

The district reported that most in-school suspensions were given for unspecified reasons, of which there were five. There was one incident of alcohol. For four incidents, students were suspended for one to two days.

Boy students received six suspensions, while one girl was suspended.

There were three elementary or middle school students, and four high school students suspended in 2020-2021 school year.

Illinois ranks as the 5th state in terms of the overall number of schools and student enrollment among all states.

Illinois lawmakers enacted laws in 2015 to restrict schools from disciplining a disproportionate number of Black and minority students out of school and into the criminal justice system, often for minor misbehavior.
