A Statistical Measure of Educational Disparities Due to Zero Tolerance Policies
Authors: , , ,
Abstract: We use the disproportion statistic to quantify the differences among ethnic groups and school settings. Patterns of disciplinary actions in four school settings, Non–Title I Non–Charter, Non–Title I Charter, Title I Non–Charter, and Title I Charter schools are examined. Analysis is based on the most recent data provided by the U. S. Office of Civil Rights. The importance of this research is that it is one of the first studies to show that not only are there differences in disparities due to zero tolerance policies among ethnic groups, but there exists statistically significant differences in disparities among school settings as well.
