    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on a school discipline method called the School-wide Positive Behavioral Support method. The program is designed to reduce the number of school suspensions and expulsions. It is explained that school safety does not need to be compromised in order to teach disruptive students, and the definitions of expulsion and suspension are provided. The effects of disciplinary removal on student outcomes and learning environments are examined and the issues of racial disparity in school removal are explored. The need to base school discipline procedures on data is addressed.
