加州总检察长与 Natomas 联合学区达成和解，涉学生纪律处分差异问题
据加州司法厅（California Department of Justice）公布，总检察长 Rob Bonta 10月2日宣布与 Sacramento 地区 Natomas Unified School District 就学生纪律处分问题达成协议。司法厅儿童司法局自2023年1月展开调查，司法厅9月26日向 Sacramento County 高等法院提交诉状与拟议的约定判决。
司法厅称，调查发现2018-19至2024-25学年间，该学区黑人学生与残障学生在纪律转介中所占比例明显偏高，并更常受到停学、开除等排斥性处分；调查还认定学区曾以扰乱或故意违抗为由对部分幼儿园至八年级学生处以校外停学，违反州法，并曾在未获家长同意的情况下向第三方披露学生保密记录。学区对调查结论持有异议。和解条款与后续整改要求以法院文件为准。本案的后续报道曾引述社区倡导者称，此类处分差异并非单一学区独有。
Attorney General Reaches Settlement With Natomas Unified Over Student Discipline Disparities
California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced an agreement with the Natomas Unified School District on Oct. 2, according to the California Department of Justice. The department's Bureau of Children's Justice began investigating in January 2023, and the DOJ filed a complaint in Sacramento County Superior Court on Sept. 26 together with a proposed stipulated judgment.
Investigators found that from the 2018-19 through 2024-25 school years, Black students and students with disabilities were substantially overrepresented among students referred for discipline and more likely to receive exclusionary punishments such as out-of-school suspension or expulsion. The DOJ also found the district issued out-of-school suspensions for disruption or willful defiance, in several cases to students in kindergarten through eighth grade, in violation of state law, and released confidential student records to third parties without required parental consent. The district disputes the findings. Settlement terms are set out in the court filings.
