  • Questions for Student Discipline Disparity

    Question: Where can I get the student discipline data broken down by school and race/ethnicity/gender demographics?

    Dr. Markay Winston, Deputy Superintendent, responds at the 1/24/23 Regular Board Meeting

    Question: Is data being collected to help identify root causes of behaviors that are escalating to disciplinary action to better understand how the school system might be able to address them?

    Dr. Markay Winston, Deputy Superintendent, responds at the 1/24/23 Regular Board Meeting

    Question: What support are teachers and support staff getting to receive education on alternatives to discipline?

    Dr. Markay Winston, Deputy Superintendent, responds at the 1/24/23 Regular Board Meeting

    Question: Thank you for making elimination of school discipline disparity a goal for MCCSC. How can the community find detailed reporting of disparity across multiple school years and for individual schools? Without such reporting, and accountability, how will the community know that improvements are being made? Will steps be taken to help students in higher grades, who have experienced disproportionate discipline in lower grades to help reset their educational experience?

    Dr. Markay Winston, Deputy Superintendent, responds at the 1/24/23 Regular Board Meeting

    Question: How is [MCCSC] resolving situations where students may be acting out in the first place due to stress of home life?

    Dr. Markay Winston, Deputy Superintendent, responds at the 1/24/23 Regular Board Meeting

    Question: Will it be possible to receive face-to-face courses and training to improve our performance as teachers?

    Dr. Markay Winston, Deputy Superintendent, responds at the 1/24/23 Regular Board Meeting
