Despite the disproportionate and controversial concern regarding the disparate impact of school disciplinary policies on minority youth, there is little known regarding the perspectives of minority secondary school administrators and their use of school discipline and violence prevention strategies. Especially concerning is a trend that shows minority youth are disproportionately suspended or disciplined at significantly higher rates than non-minority students. This quantitative descriptive study examined the attitudes and perspectives of minority secondary school administrators regarding their use of school discipline policies and their effect on minority students. Several research questions guided this study: (Q1) What are minority secondary school administrators' attitudes and beliefs about using disciplinary policies and violence prevention strategies in their school? (Q2) What factors influence the use of disciplinary measures and violence prevention strategies with minority students among secondary school administrators? (Q3) What is the relationship between minority secondary school administrators' beliefs about students' academic achievement and the administrator's use of school disciplinary measures? The study's results revealed differences among the minority secondary school administrators based on various demographic characteristics. Additionally, the secondary minority school administrators within this study were factorizable into three distinct components (high-suspenders, non-suspenders, and low-suspenders) based on their perspectives and beliefs regarding their use of disciplinary measures and violence prevention measures. The results indicate that the secondary minority school administrators were not influenced in their use of suspension measures based on their beliefs regarding a student's academic standing.
