Tonight the backlash from the confrontation caught on a cell phone. Plus, school suspensions, is the punishment in class too over the top and whos getting suspended and why . The nbc10 investigators open the books next. Mission impossible. Our first look at the rappelling thieves dropping into not one but several local stores. Schools. The nbc10 investigators expose uneven rates of discipline. Youre saying it was how often . Every week or every two weeks. Certain races far more likely to be suspended. There is really a desperate need to do things differently. We dug into the topic of School Discipline after the federal government released troves of records. Investigative reporter George Spencer showed some local districts suspended nearly one out of every four students. Reporter four Ariana Austin lloyd, now a high school senior, studying has become a priority. As a freshman, she says her daily 20minute walk to Upper Darby High School got her in trouble. Tardy arrivals led to saturday detentions. When she skipped detentions, she was suspended. Again and again. Like, every week or two weeks, yeah. Reporter so your punishment for being late to school was missing more school . Yes. Yes. Reporter parts of arianas experience are very common. When we analyzed the most recent available data on discipline rates across the country, we discovered districts in our area with suspension rates far above the National Average of about 5. 5 . The pleasantville public School District reported a rate more than four times that. At 23 of students suspended at least once. It was the highest in our region. Followed by william penn, chester community, reading and southeast delko districts rounding out the top five. Upper darby is number eight at 14 . Removing a kid from school has become the easiest and allpurpose form of intervention. Reporter harold jordan of the aclu of pennsylvania authored the groups review of discipline and policing in schools. He says socalled zero tolerance policies have grown excessive. Now push students out of the classroom even for relatively minor infractions. He believes the disengagement impacts students long after their suspensions end. Those kids are much more likely to just have a negative relationship with educators and with the School System in the future. Reporter as we dug deeper, we realized the issue is not just how many students are suspended, its which students are suspended. In some local districts, the Racial Disparities are hard to miss. In pleasantville schools, 38 of students are black, but among students suspended more than once, that number jumps to 65 . Coatesville schools are 31 black, but blacks represented 63 of multiple suspension students. In austin lloyds upper darby School District, blacks make up 16 of the student body but accounted for more than 80 of students suspended more than once. Its concerning that a large number of africanamerican students are disciplined. Reporter why is that happening, though . Listen, i think percentagewise, again, we have a lot of students that transfer into our district that didnt have the same foundational opportunities that upper darby provides their kids. Reporter assistant student tells us highly transient student population and a support staff limited by tight budgets lead to the higher suspension rate. The district says, its been addressing the concern for several years now. Adjusting its code of conduct to be less punitive, offering new intervention plans to repeat offenders and training teachers on supportive relationships. In the meantime, he insists the application of discipline is color blind. Do you think the suspension policies are being applied evenly across the races . Yes. Yes. Absolutely. Reporter austin lloyd, for one, says she has gotten back on track since her suspension spree. I matured a lot more. I definitely got myself together. Reporter but she says she knows others who have not and may never. For the investigators, George Spencer, nbc10 news. The upper darby and will yan penn School Districts were the only two districts mentioned in our story, which replied to our ask for quote. We posted their full story on nbc10. Com.
