They have concerns and no one wants to listen to them. Not only did the school district send a response, but Vista High School Principal David Jaffe also sent the community a notice last week of what happened. I accept that the coach is genuinely sorry for this action but should be directed appropriately.
Therefore, he will not participate in tonight's game or in training next Monday and Tuesday. He has accepted this decision with integrity and professionalism. This story was originally reported by Telemundo The rate gets even higher for Black middle school boys — almost one out of every five were suspended at least once, compared to 13 percent of Black middle school girls and 7 percent of middle school children overall, said Luke Wood, a San Diego State education professor who co-authored the report.
The report also highlighted new state data released in December that show Black students are more likely to be secluded or restrained in school. Black students made up 19 percent of students who were physically restrained and 31 percent of students who were mechanically restrained in California, even though they made up 5 percent of statewide enrollment, the report said.
Wood found that the widest disparity for suspensions was in the early elementary grades. Black boys were more than five times as likely as their peers to be suspended in kindergarten through third grade. There is a trend where our babies are literally pushed out of school, and that continues through elementary school, middle school and high school. Many Black families say educators often assume their children will be troublemakers, or they have referred to their children as aggressive, destructive or defiant — even in their earliest years at school, Wood said.
Many said their children were singled out for discipline when other students were involved, and that educators did not listen to or believe their children. Studies have shown that suspensions are associated with increased chances of students dropping out or becoming incarcerated later in life. San Diego County districts overall do not have egregiously high suspension and expulsion rates, but their rates still reflect disparities, Wood said.
Seven percent of Black students countywide were suspended in , compared to 3 percent of all students, according to state data. That was the same rate as five years prior. The fact that San Diego Unified has not in recent years reduced its discipline rates for Black students shows the district has not delivered on equity for students, Wood said.
Also student arrests by school police have declined by 79 percent in the past decade, she said, and the district is working to reform school police. Wood also noted that the Grossmont Union High School District has long had significantly higher expulsion rates for students overall and for Black students in particular. The district had a 0. For Black students, the district had a 1. While the data comes from July to mid-March pre-COVID , it nonetheless demonstrates a significant reduction in our expulsion rate.
Some people have questioned why organizations fixate on the Black student suspension rate, considering it is one metric out of many to evaluate schools. For example, San Diego Unified officials and others have disagreed with the local NAACP branch when it said last month that Superintendent Cindy Marten had not delivered on equity promises, mainly because the district still has a disproportionately high suspension rate for Black students.
Her supporters said Marten has made accomplishments in equity, such as increasing the percentage of all graduating students, including Black students, and increasing those who qualify for admission to state universities. He said the Black Lives Matter movement has homed in on the disproportionate experiences of Black people, especially Black men, being hyper-criminalized by police. The direct parallel between that and schools is exclusionary discipline and punishment, such as suspensions and expulsions, Wood said.
To reduce harsh discipline and address the racial disparities, Wood proposed training future and current teachers on implicit bias, microaggressions, inclusive teaching practices and positive behavioral interventions. He recommends that schools not receive any attendance-based funding when they suspend students; he said schools can still get money for the first day they suspend a student.
