A new resource guide from the usedgov and the DOJ advises school districts that suspending a student who skips school is potentially discriminatory toward minority students.
The"Resource on Confronting Racial Discrimination in Student Discipline" outlines a range of actions that could be considered racially discriminatory because of a racially disparate impact, including suspending students who skip school.
According to the report, the department resolved an OCR investigation into Victor Valley Union High School District in August 2022, which said the district maintained discipline policies that"disproportionately harmed black students" that included suspending students from school that were late to school or skipped school entirely. Another school district, Wicomico County Public Schools in Maryland, was required to allow students who skipped school to make up their missed schoolwork.
Bob Eitel, the president and co-founder of the Defense of Freedom Institute, told the Washington Examiner in a statement that the Biden administration is"wrong" to suggest that"school disciplinary policies are inherently racist."
