Expulsion is the act of permanently removing a child from their school, child-care or other education program. From the perspective of the education program, this may be an effective way to resolve a potential safety risk, but the consequences to young children can be devastating. In a recently released report, the Children’s Equity Project includes expulsion (and suspension) on the list of harsh discipline practices, which also includes corporal punishment, seclusion and inappropriate use of restraints (Children’s Equity Project & Bipartisan Policy Center, 2020). In this report, The Children’s Equity Project and Bipartisan Policy Center present a new policy agenda to close opportunity gaps in early education and address the structural inequities that hold some children back, especially Black, Latinx, Alaska Native and Native American children, and deny them equal opportunity to education, health and economic wellbeing.
