Johnsburg Community Unit School District 12 reported 16 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 16 students during the year. This equates to less than one percent of the 1,678 students enrolled.

Students were expelled for 12 incidents with violence without physical injury, two incidents with alcohol and tobacco, one incident with drugs, 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 six. There were two incidents of tobacco. For six incidents, students were suspended for one to two days.

Boy students received 14 suspensions, while two girls were suspended.

There were 14 elementary or middle school students, and two high school students suspended in 2020-2021 school year.

The district reported that most out-of-school suspensions were given for violence without injury, of which there were six. There was one incident of drug offense. For three incidents, students were suspended for a day or less.

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.
