Homeless Suspension Count by Most Serious Offense
The latest DataQuest report on California's homeless youth suspension count by most serious offense category disaggregated by ethnicity.This report displays the 2019–20, K–12 public school total count of suspension outcomes for homeless students involved in one or more incident by ethnicity. Although a student may have committed multiple offenses as part of a single incident, each student is only counted once per incident for which they were disciplined.
PLEASE BE ADVISED: As a result of the statewide physical school closures that occurred in February/March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2019–20 suspension and expulsion data are not comparable to similar data from other academic years; however, the California Department of Education (CDE) has determined that these data are valid and reliable for the period of time that schools were physically open during the 2019–20 academic year. For more information about the impact of COVID-19 on data reporting for the 2019–20 academic year, please visit the CDE COVID-19 and Data Reporting webpage.
