The past decade has seen some progress in lowering suspension rates for Black students.
But massive disparities persist, according to a review of discipline data in key states.
In Missouri , students lost almost 780,000 days of class due to in-school or out-of-school suspensions in 2023 , the highest number in the past decade .
In Minnesota , the share of expulsions and out-of-school suspensions going to Black students dropped from 40% in 2018 to 32% four years later .
Minnesota Department of Human Rights ordered dozens of districts and charter schools to submit to legal settlements over their discipline practices.
Education reform emerged quickly as a goal for the Black Lives Matter movement.
