III.	Discipline Data and Suspension Work
• Discipline Data, FCOE Collaboration Student Engagement Robyn Snyder presented data on what qualifies a district for Additional Targeted Support and Improvement (ATSI). The CE Area administrators have joined with Fresno County Office of Education to analyze data to determine what is working and what needs to be implemented to improve suspension rates.
• Reagan GIS Melissa Papendorf shared data from her school. The data shows a high percentage of suspensions as the result of bodily harm. She shared measures they

have put into place to curb suspensions including: a Peer Buddies program; weekly meetings for students with repeat suspensions; Peer Mediators; age-appropriate reflection to follow home; and intramurals to engage students in structured play. The goal is to see a decrease in their suspension rates by January, as compared to suspension rates recorded from the previous school year.
