Students were expelled for three incidents with violence that caused physical injury, 32 incidents with violence without physical injury, one incident with drugs, five incidents with a dangerous weapon, other than a firearm.

The district reported that most in-school suspensions were given for unspecified reasons, of which there were 47. There were five incidents of violence without injury. For 46 incidents, students were suspended for one to two days.
