Relative Risk of Suspension for Students with Disabilities - Map 3: This map depicts the relative risk ratio of suspension at the district level. Relative risk ratios are a measurement that compares the rate at which one student subgroup receives a disciplinary action to the rate of another subgroup. In this case, the number would be interpreted as follows: In (District Name), IDEA students were XX times more likely to receive an out of school suspensions than their Non-IDEA peers. If you hover the clicker over any district, you will see the relative risk ratio, as well as the percentage of the student body identified as IDEA in each district.
