• MSDE quantifies suspension disproportionality for SWD compared to their non-disabled peers by comparing the SWD suspension rate to the GE suspension rate using a Standard Risk Ratio (<2). Data is reported and captured in the State Performance Plan as indicator #4.

• City Schools' overall Standard Risk Ratio of 2.1 for SY 2018 was just shy of meeting the state target.
