Short Term Education System Suspension Rate (per 10 Enrolled) in North Carolina
Current Value
1.39
Definition
Why Is This Important?
In the education system, children of color are disproportionately punished through mechanisms like short-term suspension from school. These punishments inhibit academic achievement and open a gateway that can, in time, lead to subsequent involvement with the justice system. Limitations in academic achievement can have lifelong effects on health and well-being. HNC2030 pg. 42
