Students who receive special education services represent 12% of students in the country, and: 19 % suspended in school 20 % of students receiving out-of- school suspension 25 % of students receiving multiple out-of-school suspensions 19 % of students expelled 23 % of students referred to law enforcement 23 % of students receiving a school-related arrest

New Mexico To date, the data for New Mexico shows students with disabilities are not disproportionately suspended or expelled. There are many resources available to help us continue to support out students with disabilities.
