Norris City-Omaha-Enfield Community Unit School District 3 reported 38 suspensions or expulsions for the 2020-2021 school year, according to the latest student discipline report by the Illinois State Board of Education.

According to the report, the district expelled or suspended 38 students during the year. This equates to six percent of the 690 students enrolled.

Students were expelled for 15 incidents with violence without physical injury, nine incidents with alcohol and tobacco, one incident with a dangerous weapon, other than a firearm.

The district reported that most in-school suspensions were given for violence without injury, of which there were 15. There were nine incidents of tobacco. For 13 incidents, students were suspended for one to two days.

Boy students received 38 suspensions.

There were 38 elementary or middle school students suspended in 2020-2021 school year.

The district reported that most out-of-school suspensions were given for unspecified reasons, of which there were four. For three incidents, students were suspended for two to three days.

Illinois ranks as the 5th state in terms of the overall number of schools and student enrollment among all states.

Illinois lawmakers enacted laws in 2015 to restrict schools from disciplining a disproportionate number of Black and minority students out of school and into the criminal justice system, often for minor misbehavior.
