Students were expelled for seven incidents with violence without physical injury, one incident with alcohol and tobacco, eight incidents with drugs.
The district reported that most in-school suspensions were given for violence without injury, of which there were four. There were two incidents of unspecified reasons. For six incidents, students were suspended for one to two days.

The district reported that most out-of-school suspensions were given for drug offense, of which there were eight. There were seven incidents of unspecified reasons. For eight incidents, students were suspended for two to three days.
