South Carolina suspends more pre-K students than any other state, according to federal data.
438 preschoolers in public schools statewide were given at-home suspension at least once.
That’s nearly twice as many as in Texas , which reported the next-highest number of preschoolers suspended at 262 .
Some preschools reported suspending students for running, excessive noise, failing to complete classwork or leaving class.
Committee members worry teachers might treat Black and male students more harshly than their counterparts.
Some students might genuinely be causing harm or difficulties for already-overburdened teachers, committee members say.
Requiring standardized training on behavioral problems in 3- and 4-year-olds would be a relatively easy way to start reducing suspensions.
The state could also require districts to change their codes of conduct to use different methods of discipline for different age groups, committee members said.
