The national Center for Education Statistics of the Institute of Education Sciences has released a report entitled Indicators of School Crime and Safety 2015. The report includes a wealth of school safety information for both K-12 and post-secondary education. Topics include victimization, school conditions, discipline, safety and security measures, and criminal incidents.
You can read the entire 246 page report here. Here is an article on the report by our friends at the Council for Exceptional Children.
The report includes a chapter on Bullying.
Concerning special education and discipline, I particularly call your attention to Tables 19.1 and 19.2 on pages 177-178 of the report. Here are a few statistics from the report all numbers are for the 2011-2012 school year: 0.42% of students with disabilities received corporal punishment as compared to 0.36% of students in general.11.84% of students with disabilities received out-of-school suspensions vs. 6.4% of all students. 0.38% of students with disabilities were expelled vs. 0.22% of all students. 0.27% of students with disabilities were arrested at school vs. 0.13% of all students.
