Although Black students comprise only one-third of Henrico Schools’ student population, they accounted for 63% of the students who were suspended at least once during the 2022-2023 school year, according to data provided to the Henrico Citizen by the school system. Click here to read more

Your piece on the disparity of black students suspended vs white students is crap. If black students give legitimate reason for suspension they deserve to be suspended. If white students give a legitimate reason to be suspended they deserve it. Don’t make this a racial issue.
