Discipline disparity
Discipline disparity is a term which refers to the trend of disproportionate disciplinary actions taken by a school against certain students due to their race or another demographic.
This behavior may seem nonexistent in KSD and surrounding districts, but recent data suggests that a disproportionate amount of disciplinary action was taken against Black students when compared to their white classmates in the past two years.
In the 2019 and 2020 school years, there were 29 and 22 out-of-school suspensions, respectively.
