We’re investigating the off-the-books ways that children are missing out on school
We need your help to understand how schools are using informal types of discipline that are not recorded as a suspension or expulsion. We want to better understand why and how often students are being informally removed from classrooms. We are particularly interested in how students with disabilities are affected by these practices.
