The use of exclusionary discipline (ExD) – defined as discipline that removes a student from the school setting via expulsion or suspension – has been found to undermine students’ health, well-being, and educational achievement. Members of the Public-School Exclusionary Discipline Study (PEDS) team will be examining and mapping the prevalence, disparities, and factors associated with the use of ExD in U.S. public schools. We invite you to explore our work and provide us with any feedback you might have.
