Problems in schools can negatively impact a number of measurable outcomes, including crime, suspension, and dropout rates. In the same way, improvements in school operations can lower crime and suspension rates and make it more likely that children will remain in school. Schools and school districts that do well in one of the areas featured in this report will often also excel in another. In highlighting these high performers we hope that the programs and policies that contribute to success will be emulated by others. The relationship between the factors of crime, suspensions, and dropouts has been confirmed by correlating the annual rates from the North Carolina Local Education Agencies (LEAs). Small, but significant, positive correlations have been found for the relationships between crime and short-term suspension, between crime and dropout, and between short-term suspension and dropout. The correlations are not large, and the existence of a correlation does not mean that one factor leads to another. However, we can say that the factors are associated with one another. Sometimes correlations occur not because one factor causes another, but because an underlying factor causes both. Underlying factors could include demographics such as socioeconomic status or school factors such as management strategies. Data analysis is an important tool in school management. However, care must be taken to consider all possible interpretations of the numbers, since some factors occur together and not all factors are easily measurable. For example, researchers in the area of dropout prevention have documented a relationship between out-of-school suspensions and dropping out, but there is also a relationship between behavior problems and dropping out. Therefore, it can be difficult to determine how much impact on the dropout rate can be attributed to student attitudes and behavior and how much can be attributed to the suspensions themselves. This Consolidated Report should be viewed as a starting point to begin to untangle a number of interrelated school outcomes through annually repeated data summaries. Over time, we hope to reveal a clearer view of these outcomes, their interrelationships, and other underlying factors. 2 CONSOLIDATED REPORT, 2010-11 General Findings The number of acts of crime and violence by high school students increased 0.4% from 2009-10 to 2010-11, however the rate of acts reported (per 1000 students) decreased 0.3%. Reportable acts were most frequently committed by students who were 9th graders and male. Among ethnic groups in high school, Pacific Islanders had the highest crime rate, followed by black students, and American Indian students. LEAs reporting zero grade 9-13 reportable acts were Camden County, Graham County, Pamlico County, Perquimans County and Tyrrell County. Of the LEAs with more than zero, those with the lowest rates of grade 9-13 reportable acts were Polk County, Washington County, Cherokee County, Clay County, and Elkin City. LEAs with the highest rates of grade 9-13 reportable acts were Hyde County, Swain County, Forsyth County, Haywood County, Beaufort County, Transylvania County, Buncombe County, Robeson County, Jones County, and Watauga County. LEAs reporting the largest 3-year decreases in rates of grade 9-12 reportable acts were Pamlico County, Perquimans County, Graham County, Camden County, and Polk County. LEAs with the largest 3-year increases in rates of grade 9-13 reportable acts were: Hyde County, Macon County, Scotland County, Richmond County, and Yadkin County. However, Richmond County, and Yadkin County had rates below the state average. The most frequently reported reportable acts in high school were 1) possession of a controlled substance in violation of the law, 2) possession of a weapon excluding firearms and powerful explosives, and 3) possession of an alcoholic beverage. There were 129,817 grade 9-13 short-term suspensions reported statewide in 2010-11, a decrease of 1.4% from the 2009-10 total of 131,607. One of seven North Carolina high school students receives at least one out-of-school short-term suspension each year. Many students receive only one suspension each year, but a number of students receive multiple short-term suspensions. High school students who received short-term suspensions in 2010-11 averaged about two suspensions each. The average total duration of short-term suspensions for high school students who received at least one suspension was 6.00 days. The average duration of a single short-term suspension was 2.88 days. The grade 9-12 short-term suspension rate was 3.00 suspensions per ten students. 3 Ninth grade students received the largest number of short-term suspensions. The rate of short term suspensions for male students was 2.6 times higher than for females. Black students received the highest rate of short-term suspensions followed by American Indians. Short-term suspension rates decreased in 2009-10 for all groups except Asian and multiracial students. The number of long-term suspensions (11 or more days) for all students continued to decline--from 3,368 to 2,621--as many LEAs focused on reductions. Average school days per suspension decreased from 62.6 to 51.4 school days. High school students received 1,801 long-term suspensions, a 10.7% decrease from 2009-10. LEAs reporting the lowest rates of grade 9-12 short-term suspensions were Lexington City, Chapel Hill-Carrboro, Mount Airy City, Clay County, Granville County, Graham County, Polk County, Camden County, Wilkes County, and Mitchell County. LEAs with the highest rates of grade 9-12 short-term suspensions were Northampton County, Greene County, Weldon City, Anson County, Martin County, Robeson County, Nash-Rocky Mount, Whiteville City, Beaufort County, and Lenoir County. LEAs reporting the largest 3-year percentage decreases in rates of grade 9-12 short-term suspensions were Lexington City, Granville County, Macon County, Pamlico County, and Madison County. LEAs with the largest 3-year percentage increases in rates of grade 9-12 short-term suspensions were Yancey County, Clay County, Mount Airy City, Richmond County, and Whiteville City. Of these with large percentage increases, Yancey County, Clay County, and Mount Airy City had 2010-11 rates that were below the state average. The number of expulsions fell from 88 in 2009-10 to 69 in 2010-11. High school students received 43 of these expulsions. Alternative schools and programs (ALPs) reported 14,093 student placements in 2010-11, an increase of 16.5% from 2009-10. There were 12,943 individual students placed in ALPs during the 2010-11 school year. High schools in North Carolina reported 15,342 dropouts in 2010-11. The grade 9-13 dropout rate in 2010-11 was 3.43%, down from the 3.75% reported for 2009-10. The decrease in dropout rate was 8.5%. There were decreases in 63.5% (73 of 115) of the LEAs. The 15,342 dropouts recorded in grades 9-13 represented an 8.7% decrease from the count of 16,804 recorded in 2009-10. 4 LEAs reporting the lowest high school dropout rates were Chapel Hill-Carrboro, Pamlico County, Hyde County, Dare County, Clay County, Whiteville City, Randolph County, Union County, Jackson County, and Craven County. LEAs with the largest high school dropout rates were Swain County, Lexington City, Thomasville City, Edenton/Chowan, Vance County, Person County, Kannapolis City, Scotland County, Bladen County and Granville County. LEAs reporting the largest 3-year decreases in high school dropout rates were Jackson County, Pamlico County, Randolph County, Whiteville City, and Madison County. LEAs with the largest 3-year increases in high school dropout rates were Newton Conover City, Scotland County, Edenton/Chowan, Elkin City, and Lexington City. Despite the large increase, the rate for Elkin City was still below the state average. The consolidated reporting of safety, discipline, and dropout data permits an overview of high performing school districts in these areas. Clay County was the only LEA on all three of the ―top ten‖ lists of lowest high school rates of crime, short-term suspensions and dropouts. Five school systems were in two of the three ―top ten‖ lists of superior performance in achieving low rates in these categories. These LEAs were: Camden County Chapel Hill-Carrboro Graham County Pamlico County Polk County Pamlico County was the only LEA on all three of the ―top ten‖ lists of largest 3-year decreases in high school rates of crime, short-term suspensions and dropouts. Three LEAs were on two of the three ―top ten‖ lists for 3-year decreases in high school rates of crime, short-term suspensions, and dropouts for grades 9-12. They are: Madison County Camden County Jackson County There were 891 uses of corporal punishment statewide in 2010-11. Corporal punishment was used at least once by 17 LEAs in 2010-11. Charter schools and the remaining 98 LEAs did not use corporal punishment. 5 School Crime and Violence 2010-11 6 7 SCHOOL CRIME AND VIOLENCE, 2010-11 Introduction In 1993, the General Assembly passed the Safe Schools Act requiring Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) to report specified acts of crime and violence to the State Board of Education (SBE). General Statute 115C-288(g) describes the school principal‘s responsibility ―to report certain acts to law enforcement‖ and lists a number of acts to be reported. The SBE later expanded on the list of acts to be reported to law enforcement. GS 115C-12(21) requires the SBE ―to compile an annual report on acts of violence in the public schools.‖ The SBE has defined 16 criminal acts that are to be included in its annual report. Nine of the 16--plus Robbery Without a Weapon--are considered dangerous and violent. The ten dangerous and violent acts are: Homicide Assault resulting in serious bodily injury Assault involving the use of a weapon Rape Sexual offense Sexual assault Kidnapping Robbery with a dangerous weapon Robbery without a dangerous weapon Taking indecent liberties with a minor Schools that report five or more of these acts per thousand students in two consecutive years and where ―conditions that contributed to the commission of those offenses are likely to continue into another school year‖ are deemed Persistently Dangerous Schools (SBE Policy SS-A-006). The other seven acts included in this report are: Assault on school personnel Bomb threat Burning of a school building Possession of alcoholic beverage Possession of controlled substance in violation of law Possession of a firearm or powerful explosive Possession of a weapon Superintendents, principals, teachers, and other school and central office personnel are to be commended for their collaboration and willingness to implement reporting systems and strategies resulting in the production of this report. 8 Data Collection and Reporting The data used in this annual report were largely collected in the NC WISE Discipline Module. Schools initially entered their data in the NC WISE system, with the data being pulled into a state discipline dataset at year‘s end. A few LEAs used third-party software conforming to state specifications and these data were also compiled into the state discipline dataset. Data consolidation and verification procedures were handled by DPI with assistance from the Technical Outreach to Public Schools (TOPS) at NC State University. The Program Monitoring and Support Division of NCDPI authored the General Findings and compiled the report. 9 SCHOOL CRIME AND VIOLENCE, 2010-11 General Findings The number of ―reportable acts‖ of crime and violence in grades K-12 increased slightly in 2010-11, but the rate declined slightly from 2009-10. There was essentially no change in the overall rate. The table below shows the total acts and rate for each of the last five years using final Average Daily Membership (ADM) as the denominator. Reporting Year Total Acts Acts Per 1000 Students 2006-07 11,013 7.77 2007-08 11,276 7.85 2008-09 11,116 7.59 2009-10 11,608 7.97 2010-11 11,657 7.95 The changes in the numbers of each of the offenses reported from 2009-10 to 2010-11 are shown in the table below. ‗Robbery without a Weapon‘ is no longer considered a reportable act for the purposes of the overall crime rate.

Acts most frequently reported in elementary school were 1) possession of a weapon excluding firearms, 2) assault on school personnel, and 3) possession of a controlled substance. In middle school the order was 1) possession of a weapon excluding firearms, 2) possession of a controlled substance, and 3) possession of an alcoholic beverage; while in high school the order was 1) Possession of a controlled substance, 2) possession of a weapon excluding firearms, and 3) possession of an alcoholic beverage. Crime rates for high school students decreased, as seen below. The number of acts of crime and violence by high school students decreased 6.0% from 2009-10 to 2010-11. The rate of acts reported decreased 10.4% to 14.23 acts per 1000 students in membership.

The data contained in this 2010-11 Consolidated Report were gathered from traditional and charter public schools as well as alternative schools/programs via the NC WISE discipline module and files from third-party software in the specified state data format. Until 2007-08, the Suspensions and Expulsions report had separate findings for charter schools and the regular LEAs—unlike the Annual Report of School Crime and Violence and the Annual Report of Dropout Events and Rates. For consistency in reporting, the practice of segregating these data has now been discontinued. Definitions of Suspension and Expulsion Lesser offenses committed by students are often dealt with using in-school suspensions or short-term suspensions last up to ten days. Principals usually make decisions about whether to suspend a student in-school or short-term out-of-school and about the duration of suspensions. In-school suspensions are usually served in an in-school suspension classroom. When a school does not have an in-school suspension program or when offenses are more serious or chronic, they may be dealt with through short-term, out-of-school suspensions. More serious offenses are usually dealt with using long-term suspensions as a consequence. Long-term suspensions last from eleven days up to the remainder of the school year. When a student is suspended long-term, the student may not return to their regular program in their home school for the duration of the suspension. Districts may allow long-term suspended students to attend an alternative learning program (ALP) or alternative school during their long-term suspension or may assign them to alternative placements in lieu of suspensions. For reporting purposes, students are not considered suspended while attending an ALP or alternative school. Certain very serious offenses may result in the student not being allowed to enroll in any school or program for the remainder of the school year or being suspended for an entire calendar year (365-day suspension). Usually superintendents and/or local boards of education, upon recommendation of principals, make decisions on a case-by-case basis about long-term suspensions (including 365-day suspensions), the length of those suspensions, and whether an ALP placement is provided. When a student is expelled from school, the student cannot return to their home school or any other school within the LEA. As with long-term suspensions, the superintendent and/or the local board of education, upon the recommendation of the principal, make decisions about student expulsions on a case-by-case basis. An expulsion is usually reserved for cases where the student is at least 14 years of age and presents a clear threat of danger to self or others. The acts do not have to occur on school premises for the superintendent and/or school board to expel a student. 2 4 The law allows school districts to permit some expelled students to enroll in ALPs to complete their education. Some districts allow expelled students to apply for readmission. 25 SUSPENSIONS AND EXPULSIONS, 2010-11 General Findings Based on data reported by all public schools in North Carolina, the number of out-of-school short-term suspensions (1 to 10 days) given to students decreased 3.9%--from a 2009-10 total of 277,206 to 266,488 in 2010-11. During this time the number of long-term suspensions (11 or more days) decreased 22.2% from 3,368 to 2,621. There were 129,817 grade 9-13 short-term suspensions reported statewide in 2010-11, a decrease of 1.4% from the 2009-10 total of 131,607. The grade 9-13 short-term suspension rate was 3.00 suspensions per ten students. Approximately one of ten North Carolina students receives at least one out-of-school short-term suspension each year. When looking at high school students only, this ratio rises to one of seven students. Many suspended students receive only one suspension each year, but a number of students receive multiple short-term suspensions. North Carolina students who received short-term suspensions in 2010-11 averaged about two suspensions each. The average total duration of short-term suspensions for students who received at least one suspension was 6.00 days for high school students and 5.33 days for all students. The average duration of a single short-term suspension for high school students was 2.98 days and 2.78 days for all students. In 2010-11 as in past years, male students, black and American Indian students, ninth graders, and students receiving special education services are among the groups that continue to be disproportionately represented among suspended students. The number of long-term suspensions (11 or more days) declined from 3,368 to 2,621. Average school days per suspension decreased from 62.6 to 51.4 school days. High school students received 1801 long-term suspensions, a 10.7% decrease from 2009-10. The number of expulsions declined to 69 from 88 the previous year. High school students received 43 of these expulsions. 26 Section 1. Short-Term Suspensions Short-Term Suspensions This section reports data for students who were suspended for 10 days or less from the 115 LEAs and charter schools. The data here reflect short-term suspensions that may include multiple suspensions per student. It should be noted that some students receive multiple short-term suspensions each year; therefore, these charts represent numbers of suspensions, not numbers of unique students. There were 266,488 short-term suspensions reported statewide in 2010-11, a decrease of 3.9% from the 2009-10 combined LEA and charter school total of 277,206. School days lost due to short-term suspensions decreased 10.0%. The 266,488 short-term suspensions in 2010-11 were given to 139,133 different students (some students were suspended more than once), for an average of 1.92 short-term suspensions per suspended student. The average total duration of short-term suspensions for students who received at least one such suspension in 2010-11 was 5.33 days. The average duration of a single short-term suspension was 2.78 days. There were 129,817 grade 9-12 short-term suspensions reported statewide in 2010-11, a decrease of 1.4% from the 2009-10 total of 131,607. The grade 9-12 short-term suspension rate was 3.00 suspensions per ten students. 2 7 Short-Term Suspensions by Gender Female Male 2006-07 86,224 222,875 2007-08 83,327 217,815 2008-09 80,784 211,841 2009-10 74,540 201,089 2010-11 71,852 194,636 - 50,000 100,000 150,000 200,000 250,000 Number of Short-Term Suspensions Note: Gender was not reported for 1,395 short-term suspensions in 2005-06, 1,619 in 2006-07, 6,965 in 2007-08, 828 in 2008-09, and 1,577 in 2009-10. Figure S1. Number of Short-Term Suspensions by Gender. The number and rate of short-term suspensions for male students in 2010-11 was 2.6 times higher than for females. Males received 194,636 short-term suspensions (ten days or less) in 2010-11. This represents a 3.2% decrease from the previous year. Females received 71,852 short-term suspensions. Female suspensions decreased 3.6% in 2010-11. 2 8 Short-Term Suspensions by Race/Ethnicity American Indian Asian Black Hispanic Multi Racial White Pacif ic 2006-07 6,692 1,458 177,713 19,512 7,393 95,453 2007-08 6,438 1,401 171,202 20,655 7,846 90,315 2008-09 7,503 1,346 166,844 20,698 9,096 85,897 2009-10 6,433 1,293 156,411 20,679 9,979 80,635 2010-11 6,387 1,305 149,654 22,654 9,892 76,308 211 - 20,000 40,000 60,000 80,000 100,000 120,000 140,000 160,000 180,000 Number of Short-Term Suspensions Note: Race/Ethnicity was not reported or was reported as ―Other‖ for 2,499 short-term suspensions in 2006-07, 10,250 in 2007- 08 2,069 in 2008-09, 1,776 in 2009-10, and 77 in 2010-11. Figure S2. Number of Short-Term Suspensions by Race/Ethnicity. Black students received the most short-term suspensions, followed by white students and Hispanic students. From 2009-10 to 2010-11, the number of short-term suspensions received by Hispanic students increased 8.7%.

The 63,642 suspensions received by students in the five categories depicted above account for 93.1% of the short-term suspensions received by exceptional children in 2010-11. Exceptional children received 68,383, or 25.7% of the 266,490 short-term suspensions in 2010-11. The representation of EC students in the school population is approximately 14%. 3 4 Section 2. Long-Term Suspensions This section reports data for students who were suspended for 11 or more school days. In 2010-11, the recent downward trend in long-term suspensions continued at a greater pace. Overall in 2010-11 there were 2,621 long-term suspensions reported. This is a 22.2% decrease from the total of 3,368 long-term suspensions reported in 2009-10. High school students received 1,801 long-term suspensions, a 10.7% decrease from 2009-10. The 2,621 long-term suspensions in 2010-11 were given to 2,566 different students (i.e., some students were long-term suspended more than once). Long-term suspensions in the state in 2010-11 totaled 134,742 days, or an average of 51.4 school days per suspension, down from 62.6 days per suspension in 2009-10. 3 5 Long-Term Suspensions by Gender Female Male 2006-07 1,053 3,535 2007-08 927 3,284 2008-09 807 2,772 2009-10 765 2,562 2010-11 521 2,100 - 500 1,000 1,500 2,000 2,500 3,000 3,500 4,000 Number of Long-Term Suspensions Note: Gender was not recorded for 94 long-term suspensions in 2006-07, 1,014 in 2007-08, 13 in 2008-09, and 41 in 2009-10.

Rates of Long-Term Suspension by Race/Ethnicity, LTS per 100,000. Hawaiian/Pacific Islander and black students had the highest rates of long-term suspensions in 2010-11, 639 and 360 LTS per 100,000 students, respectively. The Hawaiian/Pacific Islander group is very small, and the high rate resulted from only seven long-term suspensions across the state. The long-term suspension rate for American Indian students declined dramatically in 2010-11--by 72.7%. 3 9 Long-Term Suspensions by Ethnicity and Gender American Indian Asian Black Hispanic Multi Racial White Pacific 2006-07 474 89 997 364 333 283 2007-08 2008-09 577 100 784 346 268 183 2009-10 576 54 717 320 273 179 2010-11 182 106 567 246 224 162 923 - 200 400 600 800 1,000 1,200 Long-term Suspensions per 100,000 Students Male Note: 2007-08 is omitted due to lack of ethnicity data.

Expulsions This section reports data for students who were expelled from school during the 2010-11 school year. Students who are expelled from school in a school district are not allowed to return to the district, although some are subsequently served in alternative learning programs, some are allowed to apply for readmission in the district, and some apply for admission in other districts. In 2010-11 there were 69 expulsions in North Carolina schools, down from 88 in 2009-10. High school students received 43 of these expulsions.

Problems in schools can negatively impact a number of measurable outcomes, including crime, suspension, and dropout rates. In the same way, improvements in school operations can lower crime and suspension rates and make it more likely that children will remain in school. Schools and school districts that do well in one of the areas featured in this report will often also excel in another. In highlighting these high performers we hope that the programs and policies that contribute to success will be emulated by others. The relationship between the factors of crime, suspensions, and dropouts has been confirmed by correlating the annual rates from the North Carolina Local Education Agencies (LEAs). Small, but significant, positive correlations have been found for the relationships between crime and short-term suspension, between crime and dropout, and between short-term suspension and dropout. The correlations are not large, and the existence of a correlation does not mean that one factor leads to another. However, we can say that the factors are associated with one another. Sometimes correlations occur not because one factor causes another, but because an underlying factor causes both. Underlying factors could include demographics such as socioeconomic status or school factors such as management strategies. Data analysis is an important tool in school management. However, care must be taken to consider all possible interpretations of the numbers, since some factors occur together and not all factors are easily measurable. For example, researchers in the area of dropout prevention have documented a relationship between out-of-school suspensions and dropping out, but there is also a relationship between behavior problems and dropping out. Therefore, it can be difficult to determine how much impact on the dropout rate can be attributed to student attitudes and behavior and how much can be attributed to the suspensions themselves. This Consolidated Report should be viewed as a starting point to begin to untangle a number of interrelated school outcomes through annually repeated data summaries. Over time, we hope to reveal a clearer view of these outcomes, their interrelationships, and other underlying factors. 2 CONSOLIDATED REPORT, 2010-11 General Findings The number of acts of crime and violence by high school students increased 0.4% from 2009-10 to 2010-11, however the rate of acts reported (per 1000 students) decreased 0.3%. Reportable acts were most frequently committed by students who were 9th graders and male. Among ethnic groups in high school, Pacific Islanders had the highest crime rate, followed by black students, and American Indian students. LEAs reporting zero grade 9-13 reportable acts were Camden County, Graham County, Pamlico County, Perquimans County and Tyrrell County. Of the LEAs with more than zero, those with the lowest rates of grade 9-13 reportable acts were Polk County, Washington County, Cherokee County, Clay County, and Elkin City. LEAs with the highest rates of grade 9-13 reportable acts were Hyde County, Swain County, Forsyth County, Haywood County, Beaufort County, Transylvania County, Buncombe County, Robeson County, Jones County, and Watauga County. LEAs reporting the largest 3-year decreases in rates of grade 9-12 reportable acts were Pamlico County, Perquimans County, Graham County, Camden County, and Polk County. LEAs with the largest 3-year increases in rates of grade 9-13 reportable acts were: Hyde County, Macon County, Scotland County, Richmond County, and Yadkin County. However, Richmond County, and Yadkin County had rates below the state average. The most frequently reported reportable acts in high school were 1) possession of a controlled substance in violation of the law, 2) possession of a weapon excluding firearms and powerful explosives, and 3) possession of an alcoholic beverage. There were 129,817 grade 9-13 short-term suspensions reported statewide in 2010-11, a decrease of 1.4% from the 2009-10 total of 131,607. One of seven North Carolina high school students receives at least one out-of-school short-term suspension each year. Many students receive only one suspension each year, but a number of students receive multiple short-term suspensions. High school students who received short-term suspensions in 2010-11 averaged about two suspensions each. The average total duration of short-term suspensions for high school students who received at least one suspension was 6.00 days. The average duration of a single short-term suspension was 2.88 days. The grade 9-12 short-term suspension rate was 3.00 suspensions per ten students. 3 Ninth grade students received the largest number of short-term suspensions. The rate of short term suspensions for male students was 2.6 times higher than for females. Black students received the highest rate of short-term suspensions followed by American Indians. Short-term suspension rates decreased in 2009-10 for all groups except Asian and multiracial students. The number of long-term suspensions (11 or more days) for all students continued to decline--from 3,368 to 2,621--as many LEAs focused on reductions. Average school days per suspension decreased from 62.6 to 51.4 school days. High school students received 1,801 long-term suspensions, a 10.7% decrease from 2009-10. LEAs reporting the lowest rates of grade 9-12 short-term suspensions were Lexington City, Chapel Hill-Carrboro, Mount Airy City, Clay County, Granville County, Graham County, Polk County, Camden County, Wilkes County, and Mitchell County. LEAs with the highest rates of grade 9-12 short-term suspensions were Northampton County, Greene County, Weldon City, Anson County, Martin County, Robeson County, Nash-Rocky Mount, Whiteville City, Beaufort County, and Lenoir County. LEAs reporting the largest 3-year percentage decreases in rates of grade 9-12 short-term suspensions were Lexington City, Granville County, Macon County, Pamlico County, and Madison County. LEAs with the largest 3-year percentage increases in rates of grade 9-12 short-term suspensions were Yancey County, Clay County, Mount Airy City, Richmond County, and Whiteville City. Of these with large percentage increases, Yancey County, Clay County, and Mount Airy City had 2010-11 rates that were below the state average. The number of expulsions fell from 88 in 2009-10 to 69 in 2010-11. High school students received 43 of these expulsions. Alternative schools and programs (ALPs) reported 14,093 student placements in 2010-11, an increase of 16.5% from 2009-10. There were 12,943 individual students placed in ALPs during the 2010-11 school year. High schools in North Carolina reported 15,342 dropouts in 2010-11. The grade 9-13 dropout rate in 2010-11 was 3.43%, down from the 3.75% reported for 2009-10. The decrease in dropout rate was 8.5%. There were decreases in 63.5% (73 of 115) of the LEAs. The 15,342 dropouts recorded in grades 9-13 represented an 8.7% decrease from the count of 16,804 recorded in 2009-10. 4 LEAs reporting the lowest high school dropout rates were Chapel Hill-Carrboro, Pamlico County, Hyde County, Dare County, Clay County, Whiteville City, Randolph County, Union County, Jackson County, and Craven County. LEAs with the largest high school dropout rates were Swain County, Lexington City, Thomasville City, Edenton/Chowan, Vance County, Person County, Kannapolis City, Scotland County, Bladen County and Granville County. LEAs reporting the largest 3-year decreases in high school dropout rates were Jackson County, Pamlico County, Randolph County, Whiteville City, and Madison County. LEAs with the largest 3-year increases in high school dropout rates were Newton Conover City, Scotland County, Edenton/Chowan, Elkin City, and Lexington City. Despite the large increase, the rate for Elkin City was still below the state average. The consolidated reporting of safety, discipline, and dropout data permits an overview of high performing school districts in these areas. Clay County was the only LEA on all three of the ―top ten‖ lists of lowest high school rates of crime, short-term suspensions and dropouts. Five school systems were in two of the three ―top ten‖ lists of superior performance in achieving low rates in these categories. These LEAs were: Camden County Chapel Hill-Carrboro Graham County Pamlico County Polk County Pamlico County was the only LEA on all three of the ―top ten‖ lists of largest 3-year decreases in high school rates of crime, short-term suspensions and dropouts. Three LEAs were on two of the three ―top ten‖ lists for 3-year decreases in high school rates of crime, short-term suspensions, and dropouts for grades 9-12. They are: Madison County Camden County Jackson County There were 891 uses of corporal punishment statewide in 2010-11. Corporal punishment was used at least once by 17 LEAs in 2010-11. Charter schools and the remaining 98 LEAs did not use corporal punishment. 5 School Crime and Violence 2010-11 6 7 SCHOOL CRIME AND VIOLENCE, 2010-11 Introduction In 1993, the General Assembly passed the Safe Schools Act requiring Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) to report specified acts of crime and violence to the State Board of Education (SBE). General Statute 115C-288(g) describes the school principal‘s responsibility ―to report certain acts to law enforcement‖ and lists a number of acts to be reported. The SBE later expanded on the list of acts to be reported to law enforcement. GS 115C-12(21) requires the SBE ―to compile an annual report on acts of violence in the public schools.‖ The SBE has defined 16 criminal acts that are to be included in its annual report. Nine of the 16--plus Robbery Without a Weapon--are considered dangerous and violent. The ten dangerous and violent acts are: Homicide Assault resulting in serious bodily injury Assault involving the use of a weapon Rape Sexual offense Sexual assault Kidnapping Robbery with a dangerous weapon Robbery without a dangerous weapon Taking indecent liberties with a minor Schools that report five or more of these acts per thousand students in two consecutive years and where ―conditions that contributed to the commission of those offenses are likely to continue into another school year‖ are deemed Persistently Dangerous Schools (SBE Policy SS-A-006). The other seven acts included in this report are: Assault on school personnel Bomb threat Burning of a school building Possession of alcoholic beverage Possession of controlled substance in violation of law Possession of a firearm or powerful explosive Possession of a weapon Superintendents, principals, teachers, and other school and central office personnel are to be commended for their collaboration and willingness to implement reporting systems and strategies resulting in the production of this report. 8 Data Collection and Reporting The data used in this annual report were largely collected in the NC WISE Discipline Module. Schools initially entered their data in the NC WISE system, with the data being pulled into a state discipline dataset at year‘s end. A few LEAs used third-party software conforming to state specifications and these data were also compiled into the state discipline dataset. Data consolidation and verification procedures were handled by DPI with assistance from the Technical Outreach to Public Schools (TOPS) at NC State University. The Program Monitoring and Support Division of NCDPI authored the General Findings and compiled the report. 9 SCHOOL CRIME AND VIOLENCE, 2010-11 General Findings The number of ―reportable acts‖ of crime and violence in grades K-12 increased slightly in 2010-11, but the rate declined slightly from 2009-10. There was essentially no change in the overall rate. The table below shows the total acts and rate for each of the last five years using final Average Daily Membership (ADM) as the denominator.

Acts most frequently reported in elementary school were 1) possession of a weapon excluding firearms, 2) assault on school personnel, and 3) possession of a controlled substance. In middle school the order was 1) possession of a weapon excluding firearms, 2) possession of a controlled substance, and 3) possession of an alcoholic beverage; while in high school the order was 1) Possession of a controlled substance, 2) possession of a weapon excluding firearms, and 3) possession of an alcoholic beverage. Crime rates for high school students decreased, as seen below. The number of acts of crime and violence by high school students decreased 6.0% from 2009-10 to 2010-11. The rate of acts reported decreased 10.4% to 14.23 acts per 1000 students in membership.

The data contained in this 2010-11 Consolidated Report were gathered from traditional and charter public schools as well as alternative schools/programs via the NC WISE discipline module and files from third-party software in the specified state data format. Until 2007-08, the Suspensions and Expulsions report had separate findings for charter schools and the regular LEAs—unlike the Annual Report of School Crime and Violence and the Annual Report of Dropout Events and Rates. For consistency in reporting, the practice of segregating these data has now been discontinued. Definitions of Suspension and Expulsion Lesser offenses committed by students are often dealt with using in-school suspensions or short-term suspensions last up to ten days. Principals usually make decisions about whether to suspend a student in-school or short-term out-of-school and about the duration of suspensions. In-school suspensions are usually served in an in-school suspension classroom. When a school does not have an in-school suspension program or when offenses are more serious or chronic, they may be dealt with through short-term, out-of-school suspensions. More serious offenses are usually dealt with using long-term suspensions as a consequence. Long-term suspensions last from eleven days up to the remainder of the school year. When a student is suspended long-term, the student may not return to their regular program in their home school for the duration of the suspension. Districts may allow long-term suspended students to attend an alternative learning program (ALP) or alternative school during their long-term suspension or may assign them to alternative placements in lieu of suspensions. For reporting purposes, students are not considered suspended while attending an ALP or alternative school. Certain very serious offenses may result in the student not being allowed to enroll in any school or program for the remainder of the school year or being suspended for an entire calendar year (365-day suspension). Usually superintendents and/or local boards of education, upon recommendation of principals, make decisions on a case-by-case basis about long-term suspensions (including 365-day suspensions), the length of those suspensions, and whether an ALP placement is provided. When a student is expelled from school, the student cannot return to their home school or any other school within the LEA. As with long-term suspensions, the superintendent and/or the local board of education, upon the recommendation of the principal, make decisions about student expulsions on a case-by-case basis. An expulsion is usually reserved for cases where the student is at least 14 years of age and presents a clear threat of danger to self or others. The acts do not have to occur on school premises for the superintendent and/or school board to expel a student. 2 4 The law allows school districts to permit some expelled students to enroll in ALPs to complete their education. Some districts allow expelled students to apply for readmission. 25 SUSPENSIONS AND EXPULSIONS, 2010-11 General Findings Based on data reported by all public schools in North Carolina, the number of out-of-school short-term suspensions (1 to 10 days) given to students decreased 3.9%--from a 2009-10 total of 277,206 to 266,488 in 2010-11. During this time the number of long-term suspensions (11 or more days) decreased 22.2% from 3,368 to 2,621. There were 129,817 grade 9-13 short-term suspensions reported statewide in 2010-11, a decrease of 1.4% from the 2009-10 total of 131,607. The grade 9-13 short-term suspension rate was 3.00 suspensions per ten students. Approximately one of ten North Carolina students receives at least one out-of-school short-term suspension each year. When looking at high school students only, this ratio rises to one of seven students. Many suspended students receive only one suspension each year, but a number of students receive multiple short-term suspensions. North Carolina students who received short-term suspensions in 2010-11 averaged about two suspensions each. The average total duration of short-term suspensions for students who received at least one suspension was 6.00 days for high school students and 5.33 days for all students. The average duration of a single short-term suspension for high school students was 2.98 days and 2.78 days for all students. In 2010-11 as in past years, male students, black and American Indian students, ninth graders, and students receiving special education services are among the groups that continue to be disproportionately represented among suspended students. The number of long-term suspensions (11 or more days) declined from 3,368 to 2,621. Average school days per suspension decreased from 62.6 to 51.4 school days. High school students received 1801 long-term suspensions, a 10.7% decrease from 2009-10. The number of expulsions declined to 69 from 88 the previous year. High school students received 43 of these expulsions. 26 Section 1. Short-Term Suspensions Short-Term Suspensions This section reports data for students who were suspended for 10 days or less from the 115 LEAs and charter schools. The data here reflect short-term suspensions that may include multiple suspensions per student. It should be noted that some students receive multiple short-term suspensions each year; therefore, these charts represent numbers of suspensions, not numbers of unique students. There were 266,488 short-term suspensions reported statewide in 2010-11, a decrease of 3.9% from the 2009-10 combined LEA and charter school total of 277,206. School days lost due to short-term suspensions decreased 10.0%. The 266,488 short-term suspensions in 2010-11 were given to 139,133 different students (some students were suspended more than once), for an average of 1.92 short-term suspensions per suspended student. The average total duration of short-term suspensions for students who received at least one such suspension in 2010-11 was 5.33 days. The average duration of a single short-term suspension was 2.78 days. There were 129,817 grade 9-12 short-term suspensions reported statewide in 2010-11, a decrease of 1.4% from the 2009-10 total of 131,607. The grade 9-12 short-term suspension rate was 3.00 suspensions per ten students. 2 7 Short-Term Suspensions by Gender Female Male 2006-07 86,224 222,875 2007-08 83,327 217,815 2008-09 80,784 211,841 2009-10 74,540 201,089 2010-11 71,852 194,636 - 50,000 100,000 150,000 200,000 250,000 Number of Short-Term Suspensions Note: Gender was not reported for 1,395 short-term suspensions in 2005-06, 1,619 in 2006-07, 6,965 in 2007-08, 828 in 2008-09, and 1,577 in 2009-10. Figure S1. Number of Short-Term Suspensions by Gender. The number and rate of short-term suspensions for male students in 2010-11 was 2.6 times higher than for females. Males received 194,636 short-term suspensions (ten days or less) in 2010-11. This represents a 3.2% decrease from the previous year. Females received 71,852 short-term suspensions. Female suspensions decreased 3.6% in 2010-11. 2 8 Short-Term Suspensions by Race/Ethnicity American Indian Asian Black Hispanic Multi Racial White Pacif ic 2006-07 6,692 1,458 177,713 19,512 7,393 95,453 2007-08 6,438 1,401 171,202 20,655 7,846 90,315 2008-09 7,503 1,346 166,844 20,698 9,096 85,897 2009-10 6,433 1,293 156,411 20,679 9,979 80,635 2010-11 6,387 1,305 149,654 22,654 9,892 76,308 211 - 20,000 40,000 60,000 80,000 100,000 120,000 140,000 160,000 180,000 Number of Short-Term Suspensions Note: Race/Ethnicity was not reported or was reported as ―Other‖ for 2,499 short-term suspensions in 2006-07, 10,250 in 2007- 08 2,069 in 2008-09, 1,776 in 2009-10, and 77 in 2010-11. Figure S2. Number of Short-Term Suspensions by Race/Ethnicity. Black students received the most short-term suspensions, followed by white students and Hispanic students. From 2009-10 to 2010-11, the number of short-term suspensions received by Hispanic students increased 8.7%.

The 63,642 suspensions received by students in the five categories depicted above account for 93.1% of the short-term suspensions received by exceptional children in 2010-11. Exceptional children received 68,383, or 25.7% of the 266,490 short-term suspensions in 2010-11. The representation of EC students in the school population is approximately 14%. 3 4 Section 2. Long-Term Suspensions This section reports data for students who were suspended for 11 or more school days. In 2010-11, the recent downward trend in long-term suspensions continued at a greater pace. Overall in 2010-11 there were 2,621 long-term suspensions reported. This is a 22.2% decrease from the total of 3,368 long-term suspensions reported in 2009-10. High school students received 1,801 long-term suspensions, a 10.7% decrease from 2009-10. The 2,621 long-term suspensions in 2010-11 were given to 2,566 different students (i.e., some students were long-term suspended more than once). Long-term suspensions in the state in 2010-11 totaled 134,742 days, or an average of 51.4 school days per suspension, down from 62.6 days per suspension in 2009-10. 3 5 Long-Term Suspensions by Gender Female Male 2006-07 1,053 3,535 2007-08 927 3,284 2008-09 807 2,772 2009-10 765 2,562 2010-11 521 2,100 - 500 1,000 1,500 2,000 2,500 3,000 3,500 4,000 Number of Long-Term Suspensions Note: Gender was not recorded for 94 long-term suspensions in 2006-07, 1,014 in 2007-08, 13 in 2008-09, and 41 in 2009-10.

Rates of Long-Term Suspension by Race/Ethnicity, LTS per 100,000. Hawaiian/Pacific Islander and black students had the highest rates of long-term suspensions in 2010-11, 639 and 360 LTS per 100,000 students, respectively. The Hawaiian/Pacific Islander group is very small, and the high rate resulted from only seven long-term suspensions across the state. The long-term suspension rate for American Indian students declined dramatically in 2010-11--by 72.7%. 3 9 Long-Term Suspensions by Ethnicity and Gender American Indian Asian Black Hispanic Multi Racial White Pacific 2006-07 474 89 997 364 333 283 2007-08 2008-09 577 100 784 346 268 183 2009-10 576 54 717 320 273 179 2010-11 182 106 567 246 224 162 923 - 200 400 600 800 1,000 1,200 Long-term Suspensions per 100,000 Students Male Note: 2007-08 is omitted due to lack of ethnicity data.

Expulsions This section reports data for students who were expelled from school during the 2010-11 school year. Students who are expelled from school in a school district are not allowed to return to the district, although some are subsequently served in alternative learning programs, some are allowed to apply for readmission in the district, and some apply for admission in other districts. In 2010-11 there were 69 expulsions in North Carolina schools, down from 88 in 2009-10. High school students received 43 of these expulsions.
