According to the report, the district expelled or suspended 18 students during the year. This equates to three percent of the 521 students enrolled.

Students were expelled for two incidents with alcohol and tobacco, two incidents with drugs, one incident with a dangerous weapon, other than a firearm.

Boy students received 16 suspensions, while two girls were suspended.

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.
