The summer activities for kids to do while you're working from home should be the kinds of things they can do on their own. Find some ideas.Why choose a charter school?
Public charter schools in Texas disciplined fewer students (7.2% of their students) in 2018-19 than traditional public school districts (10.5%), rates which are similar to past years.
Texas public charters also assigned 50% fewer in-school suspensions, which stands in stark contrast to national averages.
We know that schools have historically over-disciplined certain students – especially Black students and those with disabilities. Critics of public charter schools, including here in Texas, have argued that charters are particularly punitive. But the data does not back them up.
In fact, it tells a very different story.
TPCSA just released a new report that analyzes TEA data and finds some very encouraging news.
You can click here to read the full report, but here are the highlights you won’t want to miss:
-Texas public charter schools assigned 50% fewer in-school suspensions than district schools
-Special needs students were assigned in-school suspensions 40% less in charter schools over the past five years
-Black and Hispanic students at charter schools are three to four times less likely to be assigned an in-school suspension than their ISD peers
-Black students at charters are assigned out-of-school suspensions less often than their ISD peers
Legacy has been using restorative practice for several years and have invested a lot of time and money this summer training and retraining our administrators.
This study reminds us why it’s worth it!
