Mahomet-Seymour Community Unit School District 3 reported 35 suspensions or expulsions for the 2020-2021 school year, according to the latest student discipline report by the Illinois State Board of Education.

According to the report, the district expelled or suspended 35 students during the year. This equates to one percent of the 3,170 students enrolled.

Students were expelled for 10 incidents with violence that caused physical injury, one incident with violence without physical injury, five incidents with alcohol and tobacco, one incident with drugs.

The district reported that most in-school suspensions were given for unspecified reasons, of which there were eight. There were four incidents of tobacco. For seven incidents, students were suspended for a day or less.
