dc.description.abstractBlack and Latinx students are more likely to experience disciplinary actions than their White counterparts despite engaging in less disruptive behaviors. Various students received disciplinary action based on infractions ambiguously outlined in the Codes of Conduct within the school policy. Although the purpose of these policies is to instill order, some of the language used can impact the number of disciplinary actions for students of color. Specifically, the language used can be targeting and impact students of color. This study will investigate the impact of school policy on disciplinary actions in Texas Independent School Districts and the role of ethnicity in these actions. The proposed research will use correlations to compare the relationships of the various variables. The collected data is secondary data; limitations to the current study are to be expected. The expected results are that the language of Codes of Conduct impacts the number of disciplinary actions.
