Black students made up 33%<\/strong> <\/strong>of the student enrollment, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suspensions have devastating effects<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Students who are suspended or expelled are twice as likely to repeat a grade<\/strong>, are more likely to dropout<\/strong> of school, and have a higher probability of coming into contact with the juvenile justice system<\/strong>. This relationship between excessive discipline practices and the prison system is referred to as the School to Prison Pipeline<\/strong>. School should be their safe space, but all too often this is not the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We seek to reform school district policies and practices that disproportionately push Black students out of the classroom.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
