ESSA │School Discipline

Secondary schools suspend or expel two million students each year, mostly for non-violent offenses such as disruption, disrespect, tardiness and dress code violations. Research shows that getting suspended or expelled increases students’ risk for falling into unproductive behavior, affecting their social-emotional development, academic performance, and life trajectories.

AIR has developed toolkits and resources to support educators in their efforts to transform disciplinary practices in our nation’s schools.

With respect to school safety, the National Center on Safe and Supportive Learning Environments has a range of resources and expertise on emotional and physical safety, bullying and cyberbullying, substance abuse, and even emergency readiness and management. There are a number of guides and training products in the training and technical assistance section of NCSSLE’s website as well as a link to mobile apps.

Our resources, available at no cost, include:

Long Story Short: How Do We Prevent Gun Violence? 

Long Story Short: How Can Schools Reduce Disparities in Disciplinary Action and Promote Student Mental Health?

Infographic: School Suspensions and Expulsions 

Addressing the Root Causes of Disparities in School Discipline: An Educator’s Action Planning Guide 

Compendium of School Discipline Laws and Regulations (compiled by category and geography)
