Boy students received 42 suspensions, while 30 girls were suspended.
There were 72 high 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 63. There were seven incidents of violence without injury. For 37 incidents, students were suspended for two to three days.
