A Review of

Suspension Expulsion Data

and

District Interventions

2013-14 and Prior Two Years1


2/36

A Context for ReviewThe process for data collection and reporting has evolved

significantly in the last year. Developing last year's reportfor the board, we did a five year review of our data andnoticed significant data entry errors, or omissions.

This allowed us to realize three major areas of need:

There were significant errors that needed to be corrected (which wedid).

Understand how to avoid these kinds of errors in the future through aninvestigation of how the state data system (CalPads) and our local

student information system (Aeries) communicate (this what my teamreferred to as " Columbo" work).

Then the continue to train and update our staffs on how to enter thedata correctly, along with failsafe tools to assist us before reporting tothe state to prevent these errors moving forward.

3/36

A Context for Review

(continued)We also have learned since that data correction that many districtsdata had similar issues for accurate reporting:

In our county representatives meeting, there was a realizationwhen we shared our experience, others we having similar

experiences. So, there has been a good deal of misreporting.

That even though the data has been corrected for the previousfive years in our local student data base (Aeries), it will onlyallow one previous year of correction in the State database(CalPads).

Data Quest, the system used by the State for public reporting,doesnt allow for corrections after the data has been posted toCalPads and Data Quest has uploaded the information.

Recent comparative reports in publications have inadvertently

published incorrect data. 3

We have witness a few changes in this last year as compared to previous years.

o Suspension are up slightly over last year

o Expulsions down by nearly 30% (which would partially account for the rise in suspensions)

o Offenses expelled for have be of a higher order (fewer 48900s)

o Proportionality is still an issue (with more direct interventions and supports we plan to mitigatethis)

What supports can we put into play to counsel and youth intervene?

o

Increased Dean and Guidance Advisor preemptive efforts to mediate issuesearlier.

o Attendance and Truancy Monitoring and Interventions

Parent conferences

DA Mediations

The Parent Projecto Restorative Justice Models

Conflict Mediation Models

o Administrative efforts to find alternatives to suspension.

Saturday School Detention

Afterschool Detention 35

How can we support these efforts, find alternatives to suspensions and/or

decrease the incidents requiring action?

o These efforts require time and energy to monitor and manage.

The new Guidance Advisor approved last year will be working with

many of these at-risk students.

o These efforts require us to continually and formally train our staffs.

We started this year with administrative training to work with socialemotional support and intervention with youth in crisis.

Also, with a look at other means of correction short of suspension or

expulsion where appropriate (Restorative justice, attendance and

intervention reviews, etc.).

Other investigations : In-house suspension was reviewed and not to be found

cost effect. That along with new directions in intervention found it to be

impractical to administer.

A special thank you to Lynn Fernandez and Lauren Renfort for their part

tabulating and preparing the information for me for this review.36
