Activists concerned about disciplinary policies that force students out of school and into the justice system will gather in cities across the country this week to make their case for reform.
In Boston, they plan to fan out to ask their peers about their experiences with school discipline, results they will pass on to city school administrators.
In Miami, the community will gather for a Forum on Black Lives focused on local county and school board races to ensure school discipline is on the agenda.
And in Dayton, Ohio, organizers will release report cards that show how every school system in the state is performing on disciplinary measures, data that’s collected but not publicized by state officials.
The events are part of the Dignity in Schools Campaign’s 7th annual Week of Action to raise awareness about school pushout.
