Next school year schools will implement a data collection method known as “Student Behavior and Administrative Response.” The new method will measure how schools respond to student behavior, not just the behavior itself. The idea is that the data will help reveal ways to reduce disproportionality.
“This allows us to study equity in responses beyond just exclusionary discipline and view equity through access to support,” said Brittney Kanard, an Education Data Specialist with VDOE.
