According to the report, the district expelled or suspended 278 students during the year. This equates to 33 percent of the 836 students enrolled.

Students were expelled for three incidents with alcohol and tobacco.

The district reported that most in-school suspensions were given for unspecified reasons, of which there were 163. There were two incidents of tobacco. For 132 incidents, students were suspended for one to two days.
