Many states and school districts are implementing reforms to reduce reliance on exclusionary discipline such as out-of-school suspension and expulsion. This article uses survey and administrative data to study the implementation of a state-level policy limiting elementary school out-of-school suspension and expulsions. While the results are limited in sample size and generalizability, we find that survey respondents from relatively disadvantaged schools reported greater difficulties and challenges with implementation and tended to comply at lower rates. Policy makers seeking more equitable implementation of these types of reforms should work with schools to better understand and attend to local preferences, buy-in, and capacity for implementation.

许多州和学区正在实施改革，以减少对校外停学和开除等排他性纪律的依赖。本文使用调查和行政数据来研究限制小学校外停学和开除的国家级政策的实施情况。虽然结果在样本量和普遍性方面受到限制，但我们发现来自相对弱势学校的调查受访者表示在实施方面遇到了更大的困难和挑战，并且倾向于以较低的比率遵守。寻求更公平地实施此类改革的政策制定者应与学校合作，以更好地了解和关注当地的偏好、支持和实施能力。
