Children who have been suspended from school by race and ethnicity in United States

Percentages are based on school enrollment. Enrollment refers to the unduplicated count of students on the rolls of the school.  The unduplicated count includes students both present and absent and excludes duplicate counts of students within a specific school or students whose membership is reported by another school.  An in-school suspension is an instance in which a child is temporarily removed from his or her regular classroom(s) for at least half a day for disciplinary purposes, but remains under the direct supervision of school personnel.  Direct supervision means school personnel are physically in the same location as students under their supervision. An out-of-school suspension is an instance in which a child is temporarily removed from his/her regular school for at least half a day (but less than the remainder of the school year) for disciplinary purposes to another setting (e.g. home, behavior center). Out-of-school suspensions include removals in which no educational services are provided, and removals in which educational services are provided (e.g. school-provided at home instruction or tutoring).
