Being suspended from school or sent to the office is tied to a big drop in grade point average (GPA), especially for Black and Latinx children, according to UC San Francisco researchers.
Their study, publishing Oct. 20, 2023, in JAMA Network Open, analyzed the school records of 16,849 students in grades 6 through 10 in a large urban school district in California from 2014 to 2017. Black students who had an "exclusionary school discipline" event – being removed from a classroom or suspended – in 2014 to 2015 saw an average drop of 1.44 points in their GPA by the end of the three-year study.
ESDs hurt all those who experience them, but they drastically hurt those from minoritized groups, and particularly Black and Latine communities. These events are another way of reinforcing the systems of racism that already occur within the classroom and the school environment and the community environment more broadly."
"These children are experiencing discrimination in how school discipline is applied," said Cribb Fabersunne. "When students are subject to trauma in a place that should be a sanctuary – a place where they think they will be safe from racism and the adults will support them – it impacts them in a profound way."
