Context
A writing-based policy analysis project connected to the research entry on zero-tolerance discipline and K-12 suspension.
Problem
Suspension policies can remove students from instruction and may contribute to unequal educational trajectories.
Method
The project uses analytical writing, source synthesis, and institutional reasoning rather than a completed original dataset.
Academic Relevance
The project connects economics and policy analysis by asking how institutions allocate opportunity and cost.
Reflection
This project is presented as a writing sample because the strongest evidence is currently analytical structure and policy reasoning.
Current Progress
Writing sample available as a PDF.
Next Steps
A future version could add a short visual summary of the institutional mechanisms discussed in the paper.
