More than 42,000 Maryland students spent time out of school for suspensions or expulsions in the 2012-2013 school year.
In an effort to overhaul longstanding and severe discipline policies, the Maryland state school board passed new regulations this year to relax its zero-tolerance policies.
The new guidelines allow school administrators to consider each infraction separately, said Dr. Jerry Wilson, superintendent for Worcester County Public Schools.
“This helps to ensure that a consequence reflects the specific infraction rather than a one-size-fits-all approach,” Wilson said.

Yeah just another way to let the kids take over the schools.. No consequences for broken rules. Just make the numbers look good. Then we wonder why society is the way it is.
If the students break the rules and the majority are black, is it right to change the rules? The rules are for everyone and if the black kids can't comply then take their parents off Government assistance.
Out of school suspension does not work. It is a vacation for kids. What kids do hate is in school suspension. Kids do their school work and once done usually do something boring like writing copies of textbooks. It makes for a long day.
Schools should have more staff available for in school suspension so kids who are disruptive or need to be suspended are not enjoying days off or causing problems by staying in a regular classroom.
This is being forced by the politically correct crowd to take the attention away from the fact that blacks are responsible for the majority of discipline problems K through 12.
This is nothing more than affirmative action for trouble makers.
Liberals do not want to right the wrong, they only want to make the wrong ok. I other words everyone has to be tolerant of those that break the rules. (if they are black) Whites will still be punished according to the rules.
Lower the bar for on ethnic group is RACISM, brought to you by liberal progressive Democrats.
