		<description><![CDATA[A new report calls for school districts to publish student disciplinary statistics by school, race and gender, to help teachers learn how to keep order in their classrooms without kicking kids out, and to create a disciplinary system that doesn&#8217;t result in out-of-school suspensions of large numbers of students &#8212; particularly black students. The policy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bullying is grounds for suspension or expulsion in California, whether it&#8217;s done face to face or through electronic media. And if there was any doubt that Facebook and other social networks came under the state&#8217;s definition of electronic media, there isn&#8217;t anymore. Assemblymember Nora Campos (D-San Jose) introduced the Cyber Bully Prevention bill, AB 746, [...]]]></description>
