</b>Disability as Discipline? Impacts of the New York City Suspension Ban on Students with Disabilities</span></p>

</b>Across the United States, suspension bans have become a popular policy response to address excessive and inequitable use of suspension in schools. However, there is little research that examines what strategies school staff employ when suspension is no
longer permitted. I examine the effect of New York City's suspension ban on the use of a potential unintended substitute for suspension: special education classification. Using a dosage difference-in-differences strategy, I find that the ban induced an increase
in disability classifications at high risk for classroom exclusion. I show that, on average, students with these classifications in schools with high pre-policy reliance on suspension experienced large declines in test scores, whereas general education students
experienced slight test score improvements. Notably, I show that these declines are not due to new, ban-induced classifications actively harming student achievement. These results underscore the importance of considering unintended consequences and vulnerable
groups when employing a seemingly "costless" and popular policy lever to reduce schools' reliance on suspension.</span></p>

Al Khafaji-King</a> is a PhD candidate at New York University's Robert F. Wagner School of Public Service studying public policy analysis. Their work is funded by an Institute for Education Sciences - Predoctoral Interdisciplinary Research Training Fellowship
and a 2024 NAEd/Spencer Dissertation Fellowship. Jo studies K-12 education policy in the U.S. context, with an emphasis on the role of education systems, social context, and policy in ameliorating (or exacerbating) educational inequities on the dimensions
of race, disability status, and gender. Jo uses rigorous quantitative methods to understand causal relationships between policy and student outcomes with their current research focusing on inequities in school discipline practices and the use of police in
schools, how broader social context and policy impact exclusionary discipline, and the impacts of school discipline reforms and alternative practices. Jo holds their MA in Economics from Miami University of Ohio and BAs in Economics and Spanish from Western
Washington University.</span></p>
