Ms. Henderson, an independent at-large member of the Council, cited a 2017 report from the American Civil Liberties Union that found 91% of students arrested at schools in the District are Black, but they only make up 71% of the student population.
The reports would have to be broken down by race, gender, age, and disability to allow for “equitable, well-informed decisions for all students in the District,” Ms. Henderson said.
The School Police Incident Oversight and Accountability Amendment Act of 2021 stems from the city’s police reform commission report released last month which includes 90 recommendations.
Ms. Henderson co-introduced the bill along with Janeese Lewis George, Ward 4 Democrat; Robert C. White Jr., at-large Democrat; Kenyan R. McDuffie, Ward 5 Democrat and Brooke Pinto, Ward 2 Democrat.
