Stewardson-Strasburg Community Unit School District 5A reported 12 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 12 students during the year. This equates to three percent of the 402 students enrolled.

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

Boy students received 10 suspensions, while two girls were suspended.

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

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