The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among K-12 student attendance rates, English language learners, poverty, suspension rates, and students with disabilities. The setting of this study was 94 school districts from New York State's Nassau and Suffolk counties, a suburban region adjacent to New York City. The results of this study showed that suspension rates had statistically significant and positive correlations with students with disabilities, accounting for 68.89 percent of the variance. As students with disabilities populations increased so did suspension rates by school district. If the results of this study remain consistent with future studies, school district leaders should develop strategies linked with diversity, equity, and inclusion as well as restorative justice practices or other alternatives to suspension to ensure that their students with disabilities, who require additional resources from K-12 school stakeholders to succeed, are not being disproportionately suspended from schools.
