Disciplinary exclusions, particularly out-of-school suspension and expulsions, are a pressing concern for schools, as research demonstrates that they are associated with myriad deleterious outcomes such as increased risk for poor academic achievement, school dropout, and contact with juvenile justice. Research suggests that School-Wide Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (SWPBIS), a prevention and intervention framework for addressing school-based problem behavior, can have a significant and meaningful impact on reducing the likelihood of student suspensions and expulsions. In this study, we conceptually replicated a series of previous studies conducted in other states and examined the effect of universal SWPBIS on disciplinary exclusions in California. Using propensity score matching, we examine differences in suspension and expulsion rates for 98 schools implementing universal SWPBIS with fidelity and 98 comparison schools not implementing SWPBIS. Results suggest that schools implementing SWPBIS with fidelity have significantly fewer suspensions. No effects were found for expulsions. Implications and recommendations for future research are discussed.

学校范围内积极行为干预和支持对学科排斥的影响：概念复制

纪律排斥，尤其是校外停学和开除，是学校迫切关注的问题，因为研究表明，纪律排斥与无数有害后果有关，例如学习成绩差，辍学和与少年司法接触的风险增加。研究表明，学校范围内的积极行为干预和支持（SWPBIS）是一种针对学校问题行为的预防和干预框架，可以对减少学生被停学和开除的可能性产生重大而有意义的影响。在这项研究中，我们从概念上复制了之前在其他州进行的一系列研究，并研究了通用SWPBIS对加利福尼亚州纪律处分的影响。使用倾向得分匹配，我们研究了98所实施了通用SWPBIS保真度的学校和98所未实施SWPBIS的比较学校的停学率和开除率的差异。结果表明，忠实地实施SWPBIS的学校被停学的次数明显减少。没有发现驱逐的影响。讨论了对未来研究的启示和建议。
