This study examined a pressing racial equity problem in early childhood education: the disproportionate suspension and expulsion of Black and Brown children and children with disabilities from early learning opportunities. The study centered on the legislative process conducted in Oregon during 2021 and 2022 when a grassroot led bill to eliminate the use of exclusionary practices in preschool setting was introduced to the Oregon legislature.
This dataset contains a complete anonymized dataset for each of the three bills involved in the process Senate Bill 236 (2021), House Bill 2166 (2021), and House Bill 5202 (2022).
