Abstract
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to investigate the amount and distribution of subjective discipline incident (SDI) office referrals across a four-year time period in a large school district in the U.S. Pacific Northwest. Descriptive and inferential analyses applied to district SDI data revealed that Latinx students were underrepresented in SDI referrals in elementary school but overrepresented in middle and high school. Results also indicated that the disproportionality in SDI referrals varied throughout the academic year, with the relative risk of an SDI office referral for Latinx students peaking during the Spring standardized testing window. These results suggest that stressors in the contextual environment have the potential to interact with the predispositions of school personnel over the course of the academic year, increasing the risk of an SDI referral for Latinx students. Implications for school policy and practice and discussed.
