As former educator, believe me the state ed Gestapo will be at your door to investigate and comb through your VADIR (violent and disruptive incident report) to nail your ass to the wall if too many minorities were suspended or put into in school suspension. Special education students are another story in terms of number of suspensions and the number of days out they had served.
I taught in a school in the early 90s that kept class on Martin Luther King Day. There were 1/3 of the number of discipline problems sent to the office that day. The assistant principal said we needed a Rodney King Day also.
