Grayslake Community High School District 127 reported 316 suspensions or expulsions for the 2021-22 school year, according to the latest student discipline report by the Illinois State Board of Education.

The district removed one student to alternative settings instead of suspending or expelling them. This equates to less than one percent of the 2,597 students enrolled.

Students were expelled for 10 incidents with violence that caused physical injury, 28 incidents with violence without physical injury, nine incidents with alcohol and tobacco, 30 incidents with drugs, three incidents with a dangerous weapon, other than a firearm.

The district reported that most in-school suspensions were given for unspecified reasons, of which there were 174. There were eight incidents of violence without injury. For 179 incidents, students were suspended for one to two days.

Boy students received 171 suspensions, while 145 girls were suspended.

There were 316 high school students suspended in 2021-22 school year.

The district reported that most out-of-school suspensions were given for unspecified reasons, of which there were 62. There were 28 incidents of drug offense. For 36 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.
