This groundbreaking report explores the disproportionate impact of school push out factors and overly punitive discipline policies on Black girls and other girls of school. The report looks at 2011-2012 data from the Department of Education which reveals that the relative risk for disciplinary action is higher for Black girls when compared to white girls than it is for Black boys when compared to white boys. This quantitative data is paired with qualitative data gathered by AAPF and CISPS during focus group sessions with Black girls and other girls of color in New York and Boston.
