Offering Educational Opportunities to Expelled Students in Wisconsin

September 2001

Education is a precious right and responsibility. We strive to ensure each student learns their future place as a citizen, having been well prepared to be caring, contributing, responsible, and academically successful.

The purpose of this report is to join Wisconsin in the national challenge to reverse the upward trend in school expulsions and to encourage all Wisconsin schools and communities to provide educational services for expelled students. The report (1) identifies key issues in balancing school safety and educational opportunity; (2) reports on a sample of national, state and local strategies to address the challenge; (3) acknowledges selected Wisconsin school districts, cooperative educational service agencies (CESAs), and community-based organizations for doing more than current state law requires to ensure educational progress of expelled students; and (4) provides possible next steps. Endnotes and web resources are appended.
