AG Raoul Leads 19-State Challenge To Education Department Plan On Racial Disparity Reporting – RiverBender (Alton)

Raoul and the coalition argue that data and analyses are crucial for the U.S. Department of Education and interested stakeholders to identify whether students with disabilities or students with disabilities who are of a particular racial or ethnic group are disciplined more often than their peers. They also argue the data can show if students of a particular race or ethnic group are disproportionately identified in specific disability categories.
