Yet another set of appalling statistics. The good news is that it is being discussed and recognized as inappropriate, and some schools systems are making it difficult if not impossible to suspend preschool students.
Black preschool children are 3.6 times as likely to receive one or more out-of-school suspensions as white preschool children.
Black children represent 19 percent of preschool enrollment, but 47 percent of preschool children receiving one or more out-of-school suspensions; in comparison, white children represent 41 percent of preschool enrollment, but 28 percent of preschool children receiving one or more out-of-school suspensions.

I'm wondering if Jack and Jill could possibly work to pull together a list of 'black toddler and pre-school age' safe schools for black children?

(23,340 posts)There needs to be an in-school remedial system for dealing with behavioral issues. A really well run school has no need to suspend.
