This research provides a case study of the Alternative to Expulsion Program of the Harmon City Schools (HCS) and is located in a midwestern state in the United States. Very often during the data collection phase of a case study other issues emerge that may change the course of the study. The emerging subject for this study is the plight of Black males who seem to be overrepresented as clients of the AEC and other such schools. This research will investigate the reasons for the overrepresentation of Black males and their referrals regarding school discipline, look at how the AEC is perceived in the community, and determine whether or not attendance at this center effects student behavior once the student returns to the traditional school. This investigation will include a discussion of student discipline and the achievement gaps between races, the effect of socioeconomic status and race on discipline referrals as well as negative teacher attitudes and their effect on discipline. Critical Race Theory and Sociall Justice Theory are used as a backdrop for this study. 2016-07-08 English text Ohio University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1459188926 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ohiou1459188926 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
