Indian Creek School District 425 reported 13 suspensions or expulsions for the 2020-2021 school year, according to the latest student discipline report by the Illinois State Board of Education.

According to the report, the district expelled or suspended 13 students during the year. This equates to two percent of the 706 students enrolled.

Students were expelled for four incidents with alcohol and tobacco, one incident with drugs.

The district reported that most in-school suspensions were given for tobacco, of which there were four. There were two incidents of unspecified reasons. For five incidents, students were suspended for two to three days.

Boy students received 11 suspensions, while two girls were suspended.

There were two elementary or middle school students, and 11 high school students suspended in 2020-2021 school year.

Illinois ranks as the 5th state in terms of the overall number of schools and student enrollment among all states.
