District news

Special education students suspended too often

High-risk

What happened

The state flagged the district because Hispanic special education students were removed from school for more than 10 days at a much higher rate. Staff presented a plan with a consultant through May 2027 and training for counselors and administrators.

Why it matters to families

Students who miss many days for discipline fall behind. The state requires the district to fix this.

The evidence

At the September 2, 2026 workshop, staff presented the finding and plan. It was approved in the September 9 consent agenda. Evidence comes from the district's auto-generated YouTube captions, which can garble names and numbers.
