Casey Westfield Community Unit School District 4C reported 22 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 22 students during the year. This equates to three percent of the 826 students enrolled.

Students were expelled for one incident with violence that caused physical injury, 13 incidents with violence without physical injury, two incidents with alcohol and tobacco.

The district reported that most in-school suspensions were given for violence without injury, of which there were 10. There were six incidents of unspecified reasons. For 12 incidents, students were suspended for one to two days.

Boy students received 15 suspensions, while seven girls were suspended.

There were 15 elementary or middle school students, and seven high school students suspended in 2020-2021 school year.

The district reported that most out-of-school suspensions were given for violence without injury, of which there were three. For two incidents, students were suspended for two to three days.

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.
