Fort Bend ISD suspends Black students at higher rates, TEA data shows

TEA data shows Black FBISD students are disciplined at a rate disproportionate to their representation in the student population—a trend mirroring districts across the state and nation, experts said. In the 2019-20 school year, Black students made up about 27% of the district’s student population but received 59% of out-of-school suspensions that year.
