We seek to accomplish this by reforming school district policies and structural practices that disproportionately push Black students out of the classroom and onto paths that lead to engagement with the juvenile and criminal justice systems. This work is beyond any single individual and takes a village of dedicated organizations and localized organizing groups to push forward progress. Therefore, the KKIC is specifically structured to work in service of the on-the-ground work occurring in regional districts. District Organizing Teams&nbsp;are small, school-district-focused groups that craft and implement strategy for advocating for the coalition\u2019s platform in a given school district.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>KKIC currently seeks to increase awareness of this issue, support recruitment for existing District Organizing Teams, and support the development of advocacy efforts in districts where there currently is no active work happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"color:#ddd\" class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-spacer gb-block-spacer gb-divider-solid gb-divider-size-1\"><hr style=\"height:23px\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons alignwide is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/keepkidsinclass.org\/?page_id=50\">History<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/keepkidsinclass.org\/?page_id=51\">Core Team<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/keepkidsinclass.org\/?page_id=52\">Coalition Members<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"color:#ddd\" class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-spacer gb-block-spacer gb-divider-solid gb-divider-size-1\"><hr style=\"height:30px\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"966\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/keepkidsinclass.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/f4fe11_aabc7a9f796649dcac5699522b9b4092mv2.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/keepkidsinclass.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/f4fe11_aabc7a9f796649dcac5699522b9b4092mv2.jpg.webp 966w, https:\/\/keepkidsinclass.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/f4fe11_aabc7a9f796649dcac5699522b9b4092mv2.jpg-300x248.webp 300w, https:\/\/keepkidsinclass.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/f4fe11_aabc7a9f796649dcac5699522b9b4092mv2.jpg-768x636.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 966px) 100vw, 966px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>Our Structure<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The Keep Kids in Class Coalition is specifically structured to work in service of the organizing occurring in regional districts.
