Although there is increasing awareness of policy decisions contributing to disproportionality in exclusionary practices, few studies have empirically examined common elements of discipline policies across the nation. We utilized a methodological review and the Checklist for Analyzing Discipline Policies and Procedures for Equity (CADPPE) to examine the extent to which current policies reflect recommendations from research regarding best practices for encouraging appropriate behaviors and preventing undesired behaviors, as well as correlations between those policies and exclusionary disciplinary outcomes for all students of color and students of color with disabilities. Data came from 147 district discipline policies and disciplinary outcomes (i.e., suspension and expulsion) from all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. The analyses indicated the majority of policies do not include most of the research-based recommendations for preventing the overuse of exclusionary practices. Furthermore, there was no correlation found between CADPPE ratings and the risk ratios for exclusionary discipline for students of color and students of color with disabilities. Implications for policy development and implementation and limitations are provided.

尽管人们越来越了解导致排他性做法不相称的政策决定，但是很少有研究从实证上考察了全国纪律政策的共同要素。我们使用了方法学综述和《公平纪律政策和程序分析清单》（CADPPE），以检查当前政策在多大程度上反映了有关鼓励最佳行为和预防不良行为的最佳实践研究建议，以及这些政策之间的相关性以及所有有色学生和有残疾学生的排他性纪律处​​分。数据来自美国50个州和哥伦比亚特区的147个地区纪律政策和纪律处分（即停职和开除）。分析表明，大多数政策并未包括大多数基于研究的建议，以防止过度使用排他性做法。此外，在有色学生和有色障碍学生的CADPPE等级与排斥纪律的风险比之间没有发现相关性。提供了对政策制定和实施的影响以及限制。
