- Summary:
-
This report profiles two Milwaukee, Wisconsin, public schools that are providing students with safe and orderly classrooms while using suspension only as a last resort. It places the successful schools' experiences in the context of research that defines effective school discipline practices and explains how suspensions can harm students. Examining the Milwaukee district's over-reliance on student suspensions, the report also discusses policies being implemented in the Cleveland Municipal School District to reduce high student suspensions. Finally, it offers school and district level suggestions for bringing discipline policies and practices more in line with the central mission to educate all children. Suggestions include assessing school discipline practices to identify critical needs, developing a plan to improve school discipline and student achievement, reducing suspensions for less serious misbehavior, holding schools accountable for effective discipline, and inviting parent and community member support for school discipline efforts. Three appendixes present methods for exploring discipline practices in local schools, a parent's checklist for examining discipline in school, and data on Milwaukee public school suspensions, 1999-00. (Contains endnotes and resources.) (SM)
