If they were male, Black, Hispanic, disabled or poor, the study found that, once excluded from school, they were more likely to face further discipline or justice system involvement. Researchers noted that developments since the 2011-2013 study period reflect significant change in schools' approach to discipline in New York City and elsewhere.           The research described in this article is based on the grantee report School Discipline, Safety, and Climate: A Comprehensive Study in New York City (2019), by L. Ayoub, E. Jensen, T. Sandwick, D. Kralstein, J. Wonsun Hahn, and E. White.
