Breese School District 12 reported 14 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 14 students during the year. This equates to two percent of the 604 students enrolled.

Students were expelled for six incidents with violence without physical injury, three incidents with alcohol and tobacco.

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

Boy students received 14 suspensions.

There were 14 elementary or middle 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. There were three incidents of tobacco. For five 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.
