Warrensburg-Latham Community Unit School District 11 reported 18 suspensions or expulsions for the 2020-2021 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 18 students during the year. This equates to two percent of the 957 students enrolled.

Students were expelled for two incidents with violence that caused physical injury, two incidents with violence without physical injury, two incidents with drugs.

The district reported that most in-school suspensions were given for unspecified reasons, of which there were nine. For eight incidents, students were suspended for one to two days.

Boy students received 13 suspensions, while five girls were suspended.

There were five elementary or middle school students, and 13 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 three. There were two incidents of violence with injury. For four incidents, students were suspended for three to four 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.
