Camp Point Community Unit School District 3 reported 101 suspensions or expulsions for the 2020-2021 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 827 students enrolled.

Students were expelled for one incident with violence that caused physical injury, 14 incidents with violence without physical injury, 13 incidents with alcohol and tobacco.

The district reported that most in-school suspensions were given for unspecified reasons, of which there were 49. There were seven incidents of violence without injury. For 53 incidents, students were suspended for one to two days.

Boy students received 78 suspensions, while 23 girls were suspended.

There were 48 elementary or middle school students, and 53 high school students suspended in 2020-2021 school year.

The district reported that most out-of-school suspensions were given for unspecified reasons, of which there were 24. There were 13 incidents of tobacco. For 17 incidents, students were suspended for four to 10 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.
