Guidance for Districts Seeking Consultation to Remediate Racial Disparities in School Discipline

Districts may be forced to take action on disparate discipline outcomes through various mechanisms (e.g., IDEA’s significant disproportionality regulations, Title VI complaint, lawsuit). Regardless of the reason, there may be interest in seeking outside support to reduce discipline disparities. The Center on PBIS provides a range of free resources for identifying, addressing, and preventing discipline disparities on its website (www.pbis.org), but it does not contract to provide corrective services. If a district requires more support than Center products and their own expertise, the Center provides recommendations in this brief.
