Student suspensions leap in state *** Under the most recent figures, the rate of student removals has risen slightly to 1.6 students suspended or expelled per 1,000 children. The year before, it was 1.5 students. Still, that small an increase in the rate of suspension for the almost 980,000 students in schools across the state translates into the double-digit jump in percentage of suspensions.
Educators and psychologists yesterday said the increase in disruptive students being removed reflects several factors, ranging from schools not meeting students' needs to a breakdown in classroom respect, to lingering effects from the fatal Columbine High School shootings.***
