Let’s Talk about Expulsion and Suspension and the Role of Quality Improvement

This tool, Building a Comprehensive State Policy Strategy to Prevent Expulsion from Early Learning Settings (Expulsion Policy Strategy Tool), is designed to address this complexity. Its aim is to support states and territories in designing a multifaceted policy approach to developing a continuum of supports for programs, families, and children. It provides policy options to promote young children’s social-emotional development and reduce the likelihood of expulsion and suspension in early learning.
