INEQUITY IN DISCIPLINE: FOR THE SAME INFRACTION, BLACK STUDENTS ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE EXPELLED OR SUSPENDED THAN WHITE STUDENTS
In this example, students were all "fighting without major injury," yet 7 out of 10 Black students received exclusionary discipline as compared to 5 out of 10 White students.

A new data brief on discipline practices and disparities in South Seattle and South King County highlights strong evidence that students of color ---    and particularly Black students ---    in the Road Map Project region are more likely than their White peers to receive more severe disciplinary interventions, even when controlling for different student characteristics. A recent Government Accountability Office report showed similar findings nationally.

The Road Map Project is a collective impact initiative to improve student achievement from cradle through college and career in seven King County, Washington school districts: Auburn, Federal Way, Highline, Kent, Renton, (South) Seattle, and Tukwila. 

Through multisector collaboration with more than 200 partners and individuals, the Road Map Project aims to eliminate the opportunity and achievement gaps impacting students of color and low-income students by increasing equitable policies and practices in education systems by 2020 and for 70 percent of its region's youth to earn a college degree credential by 2030. 

The Community Center for Education Results (CCER) is a nonprofit created to staff and support the Road Map Project. CCER works alongside partner organizations and individuals to provide research, communications, strategy and operations support.
