Preschool -3rd Grade Exclusion Penalty
The preschool-3rd Grade Exclusion penalty was based on the assumption that there should be no exclusions in that age group. Consequently, we wanted to both have a floor penalty that everyone excluding students in this age group received, and recognize that there is a significant difference between a preschool-3rd-grade exclusion rate of 1.0 exclusion per 100 students and a preschool-3rd-grade exclusion rate of 190 exclusions per 100 students. Consequently, we set the penalty at 10 points for any exclusions plus 15% of the exclusion rate.
Seven hundred seventy-eight districts had preschoolers. The lowest penalty was "0," and the highest penalty was 39. The Average penalty was 9.9; Half the schools had penalty's over 10.3.
