Key Points:
Native American students in Utah may be getting referred to law enforcement agencies at very young ages often before they even know how to read. Native American students in Utah are more likely than any other student group -- including all other students of color -- to get referred to police or arrested at school, and are 7 ½ times more likely to face expulsion than white students.

Relevance:
Speaks to the idea of disproportionate referrals and possible racial profiling toward students at an alarmingly young age and rate.  Students are being forced out of school and into the penal system. 

Audience: educators, administrators, law makers, parents
