Riverview Gardens School District has a 21.43% suspension rate as of 2015 and a total of 750 suspensions. Numbers may be different for the 2016 school year. The St. Louis School District, which encompasses Clayton School District, has a suspension rate of 29.12% with 3,470 total suspensions (Crouch, 2015). The Riverview Gardens School District provides education for students living in the surrounding areas of Riverview, Neighbors, Bellefontaine, Castle Point, Moline Acres, as well as other areas of Unincorporated St. Louis County. Clayton School District offers a small teacher-staff -- member ratio at the elementary school level up to the high school level with 11:1, 12:1, and 11:1 students per teacher or staff member.
Clayton High School and Riverview Garden High School do not have a program for student suspensions, especially in school student suspensions. Neither do they have out of school student suspension programs that may offer chances for students to catch up with missed school days. There is however, an option available to students living in Missouri to take courses online should they be suspended from school for a prolonged period. The program is called The Missouri Virtual Instruction Program (MoVIP). This program provides online courses to any Missouri student from grades K-12.
3. The problem MoVIP aims to solve is providing accessibility to quality education via an alternative method such as online...
Those that cannot attend regular school, may be able to attend MoVIP even if they do not have the money for the tuition since schools may be reimbursed for paying the student's tuition. The goals of the program are to enable learning outside of school at the comfort of the student's home and provide options for those facing long-term school suspension.
4. Founded in 2007, the first year of MoVIP brought in 2,000 students. The students were provided interaction with certified teacher via telephone, instant messenger, and email. This new option came from the growing need for disabled or homebound students to be provided an option to get an education without having to attend school. The state Missouri decided to implement the program and continues it today providing an option for education for disabled students, home schooled students, and long-term suspended students.
5. Because MoVIP is a state implemented program, students from any school including schools like Clayton and Riverview Garden can enroll. Essentially, students can choose up to six courses each semester with successful completion of courses having the possibility of being transferred to any school in Missouri. Riverview Gardens and Clayton school districts fall under the district that must pay for interested students' tuition should they participate in MoVIP. "Ten school districts across the state are required to pay MoVIP tuition…

School principals are called upon increasingly to use alternatives to punitive discipline in situations like these. By claiming that they were just fooling around, the students demonstrate that they do understand the severity of the act of knife fighting and are trying to avoid suffering the consequences. What needs to change here is the school culture, to discourage students from egging on their classmates and for encouraging accountability and nonviolent

Preventing Dropouts Among Minority Middle School Students The dropout rate of minority middle school students is rising. This can be contributed to a number of factors that cultivate frustration and develop low self-esteem among minority adolescent students. Middle school students already struggle with self-image issues, but when the added pressure of factors such as low literacy skills, poverty within the home, early pregnancy and low regard for education are also introduced,
