The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has announced that the Wichita public school district in Kansas discriminated against Black and disabled students through its disciplinary practices. The district has agreed to overhaul its policies, including reducing physical restraints and eliminating student isolation by January 1, 2025. The district will also provide counseling or tutoring for previously isolated students and develop a new student conduct code with crisis-prevention training for staff. The DOJ's investigation found that Black students faced harsher discipline than white students and that nearly all instances of restraint or seclusion involved disabled students. The Wichita district serves over 46,000 students, with a diverse student body where about 64% are Black, Hispanic, or of multiple ethnicities. The agreement follows similar DOJ actions in other U.S. districts to address disproportionate punishment of minority and disabled students.
