Exclusions by District

As shown in Table 11, over half of the 371 school districts reported no student exclusions for the 1999-00 school year. A total of 137 districts, or 37 percent, excluded students from school. One-quarter of the school districts reported between one and three exclusions. Nine percent of the school districts reported between four and nine student exclusions, and four percent, or 16 districts, reported ten or more student exclusions. This is a decrease from the prior year when 23 districts reported ten or more student exclusions.

The number of districts having ten or more student exclusions as shown in Table 12 has decreased from the previous year. The first seven districts are the same as last year, and each one except for Holyoke reported an increase in the number of students excluded during the 1999-00 school year. More than two-thirds of the districts in 1999-00 provided alternative education to 50 percent or more of their students.

Rates of student exclusions per 1000 students enrolled (as of October 1) are rounded to nearest whole numbers.


Although some districts may have excluded more than ten students from school, due to their large total enrollment, they had fewer than four exclusions per 1000 students enrolled in the district. Other districts had fewer than ten student exclusions, but had four or more exclusions per 1000 students because they had smaller total enrollments. As illustrated in Table 13, there were 17 districts reporting four or more student exclusions per 1000 students in 1999-00 compared to 23 districts in 1998-99.
