Abstract

Investigated the effect of the magnet school context on disciplinary rates of African American and White students. Examination of data from matched magnet and nonmagnet elementary schools indicated that African American students were much more likely to be disciplined, despite school type. The gap in rate of disciplining African American versus White students was greater in magnet than nonmagnet schools. (SM)
