Study: Northern Utah schools disproportionately discipline students of color [Standard.net]

A study released in May by Voices for Utah Children found black, Hispanic and American Indian students have been disproportionately disciplined in schools throughout the state.

The report looked at the 2013–14 school year and found 6 percent of all students of color received a disciplinary action, compared with 3 percent of their white counterparts.

In Northern Utah area school districts, the Weber School District was among those to have higher-than-expected discipline rates for students of color, while the Ogden School District disproportionately disciplines black students but not Hispanic students.
