AISD approves ban on suspensions for youngest students

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Just before 11:30 p.m. on Monday night, the Austin Independent School Board unanimously approved a ban on suspensions for Pre-K through second grade students.
This means children under third grade will no longer face home suspension, expulsion or placement into an alternative education program. School leaders say the goal is to get to the root of the problem and provide help for students struggling in the classroom instead of forcing them to leave school.
