Zero Suspensions And An Unexplained Leap In Excessive Absences in Miami-Dade Schools I WLRN
Bernie Perlmutter, who runs the Children and Youth Law Clinic at the University of Miami, said that practice smacks of “data gamesmanship,” and that Florida law suggests those absences should be considered suspensions.
