ROWVA Community Unit School District 208 reported 15 suspensions or expulsions for the 2021-22 school year, according to the latest student discipline report by the Illinois State Board of Education.

According to the report, the district expelled or suspended 15 students during the year. This equates to two percent of the 623 students enrolled.

The district reported that most in-school suspensions were given for unspecified reasons, of which there were eight. For six incidents, students were suspended for one to two days.

Boy students received 13 suspensions, while two girls were suspended.

There were 15 elementary or middle school students suspended in 2021-22 school year.

The district reported that most out-of-school suspensions were given for unspecified reasons, of which there were seven. For three incidents, students were suspended for one to two days.

Illinois ranks as the 5th state in terms of the overall number of schools and student enrollment among all states.

Illinois lawmakers enacted laws in 2015 to restrict schools from disciplining a disproportionate number of Black and minority students out of school and into the criminal justice system, often for minor misbehavior.
