The Effect of Discipline Reform Plans on Exclusionary Discipline Outcomes in Minnesota. REL 2021-115
Linick, Matthew A.; Garcia, Alicia N.; Dunn-Grandpre, Hannah
Regional Educational Laboratory Midwest
In 2017 the Minnesota Department of Human Rights identified 43 local education agencies in the state as being in violation of the Minnesota Human Rights Act for their use of exclusionary discipline practices (suspensions, exclusions, and expulsions) at higher rates for American Indian and Black students and students in special education than for White students and students not in special education as well as overall use. The department agreed not to pursue legal action against any identified local education agency that created and implemented a plan to reform its discipline practices. This study examined the use of exclusionary discipline practices by Minnesota local education agencies from 2014/15 through 2018/19 and the extent to which the creation of discipline reform plans by identified local education agencies was associated with changes in discipline outcomes. The study found that creating a discipline reform plan was not associated with a statistically significant change in exclusionary discipline actions experienced by students.
