Hispanic students in Boulder County disproportionately suspended, referred to police, federal data shows – The Denver Post
Disparities in discipline rates for students of color are a longtime concern for local school districts, with a disproportionate ratio of local Hispanic students suspended or referred to police.
But officials in the Boulder Valley and St. Vrain Valley school districts say they have initiatives in place to reduce the disparities and discipline issues in general.
The most recent discipline data from the Office of Civil Rights’ Data Collection, from 2015, shows that Hispanic students made up about 18 percent of Boulder Valley’s enrollment, but accounted for 42 percent of in-school suspensions.
