Rome Community Consolidated School District 2 reported 17 suspensions or expulsions for the 2021-22 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 17 students during the year. This equates to five percent of the 366 students enrolled.

Students were expelled for four incidents with violence without physical injury, one incident with alcohol and tobacco.

The district reported that most in-school suspension was given for unspecified reasons, of which there was one. For one incident, student was suspended for two to three days.

Boy students received 14 suspensions, while three girls were suspended.

There were 17 elementary or middle school students suspended in 2021-22 school year.

The district reported that most out-of-school suspensions were given for unspecified reasons, of which there were 11. There were four incidents of violence without injury. For eight 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.
