Abstract
Research has consistently documented that when compared with White peers, minority students are referred more frequently to the office, and often receive harsher punishments (Tobin et al, 2010). The purpose of the present descriptive study was to investigate school disciplinary patterns by student ethnicity. Data from a diverse group of schools will be presented, and findings will be discussed in relation to current implementation of school discipline practices.
