Sonia will also be attending this conference!

During this briefing, speakers will discuss: the results of state and local efforts to create positive, non-exclusionary school discipline policies; current and previous federal actions related to student discipline policies and practices and their impact on historically underserved students; research-based policies and practices for creating safe and inclusive learning environments; and the role of the federal government in protecting student civil rights and supporting state and local efforts to eliminate policies and practices that have a discriminatory impact. The Learning Policy Institute will also release a new report, Protecting Students’ Civil Rights: The Federal Role in School Discipline.
