Discipline Data
Discipline Data:
The year did not finish so this a comparison through February. 30% are PYP 70% are MYP 100% were African American males (PYP). 63% male in MYP and 98% were African American.
School is 3/4 African American.
The majority of these are for physical altercations in MYP.
How many were repeat offenders? This changes the numbers.
More supports added - social worker and parent liason for help
Student supports and teacher supports
Racial disparity is the problem here -
Discipline policy for this year - policy doesn't change - cyber offenses, etc. - zoom meetings instead of google meets. Handling discipline by calling parents, consequences happen after the return to school.

Virtual Learning Update
PYP - technical challenges but going well overall. K-2 is having issues teaching reading via Zoom. Small group instruction in breakout rooms -
return to school- following APS's lead
MYP - doing well - keeping kids engaged and keeping cameras on. Students are complying.
Going back to school - data is still in the red zone so we're planning on virtual for a while.
