Trico Community Unit School District 176 reported 110 suspensions or expulsions for the 2021-22 school year, according to the latest student discipline report by the Illinois State Board of Education.

According to the report, the district expelled or suspended 110 students during the year. This equates to 14 percent of the 800 students enrolled.

Students were expelled for seven incidents with violence that caused physical injury, 27 incidents with violence without physical injury, 26 incidents with alcohol and tobacco, three incidents with drugs, one incident 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 21. There were 20 incidents of tobacco. For 34 incidents, students were suspended for one to two days.

Boy students received 89 suspensions, while 21 girls were suspended.

There were 67 elementary or middle school students, and 43 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 25. There were 21 incidents of violence without injury. For 23 incidents, students were suspended for one to two 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.
