Homeless and foster youth are some of Southern California’s highest need students, but they are also the students who find themselves excluded from classrooms the most.from UCLA’s Civil Rights Project and the National Center for Youth Law found in district after district that suspensions fuel dramatic disparities in class instruction time for students with unstable homes or disabilities.
Losing significant time in the classroom not only exacerbated learning loss during the pandemic, but also severed students’ connections to vital school resources, the study’s authors concluded. The disparities between students’ lost instruction time due to suspensions are even more dramatic when measured based on race. At the state level, Black foster youth lost 133 instructional days per 100 students enrolled – more than any other category of students.
By the 2021 to 2022 school year, Black students at LAUSD only lost 2 days of instructional time per 100 students. In comparison, at Long Beach Unified School district, Black students lost 23.8 school days per 100 students. At Long Beach Unified, where Black students are disproportionately suspended, and in many school districts across Southern California suspensions remain a common tool for dealing with student disobedience.
