MD Public School Suspensions and Expulsions by School and Major Offense Category

-i-

Introduction

This report contains data on the number of incidents in each local school system and school during the 2016-17 school year. The data have been disaggregated by gender and race. The incident counts for students with disabilities are also reported. Student incident data are available for reporting by Out-of-School Suspensions and Expulsions, In-School Suspensions, and Combined In-School and Out-of-School Suspensions and Expulsions.

If there were no incidents for a particular characteristic within a Local Education Agency (LEA) or school, then the characteristic is omitted from this report for the LEA or school. If there were no incidents reported for a school, then the school is excluded from this report.

Each offense has been categorized into eight major categories. The following list shows which offenses are included in each major category. Offense definitions are described in the Maryland Student Records System Manual, 2016.

Attendance^ 101 Class Cutting 102 Tardiness 103 Truancy

Arson/Fire/Explosives 501 Arson/Fire 502 False Alarm/Bomb Threat 503 Explosives

Dangerous Substances 201 Alcohol 202 Inhalants 203 Drugs/Controlled Substances 204 Tobacco 891 Sells or Solicits Sale of Controlled Substance 892 Possesses or Uses Illegal Drugs

Weapons 301 Firearms 302 Other Guns 303 Other Weapons 893 Carries a Firearm to School or School Function

Attack/Threats/Fighting 401 Attack on Adult 402 Attack on Student 403 Threat to Adult 404 Threat to Student 405 Fighting 406 Extortion 407 Bullying/Harassment 408 Serious Bodily Injury

Sex Offenses 601 Sexual Attack 602 Sexual Harassment 603 Sexual Activity

Disrespect/Disruption 701 Disrespect 704 Disruption 706 Dress Code

Other 801 Academic Dishonesty 802 Inappropriate Use of Personal Electronics 803 Theft 804 Trespassing 806 Destruction of Property

Please note that these are aggregate counts of the incidents reported and are in no way intended to meet any specific legislative requirements. The regulations used in determining which elementary schools exceeded a suspension rate of 10%, in accordance with Section 7-304.1 of the Education Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland, were finalized in September, 2005. In addition, the identification of persistently dangerous schools cannot be determined based solely on these data.

The sum of the subgroup data in this report may not equal all students suspended from the school based on suppression of less than 10 students in membership within a subgroup.

^ Students may no longer be out-of-school suspended or expelled solely for attendance related offenses (Senate Bill 241, effective July 1, 2009).
