The 2nd Annual Colorado School Discipline Report Card | | We want to make sure that this regionally organized tool, intended for youth, parents, educators, and community members, makes its way across the state. The information within analyzes and compares the 2013-14 school discipline data for every district in the state and helps us uncover promising practices and examples of effective educational accountability while at the same time highlighting the numerous areas for improvement and the deeper systemic issues that still need to be addressed.
