Oakland Unified to fund Restorative Justice with "at least" $2.3 million!

I'm not sure if this has already made the rounds, but I didn't see it on after scrolling 10 pages, and it's such good news, it's definitely worth a repost!

"Oakland Unified school board voted unanimously Wednesday night to eliminate willful defiance as a reason to suspend any student and to invest at least $2.3 million to expand restorative justice practices in its schools".

What a beautiful commitment to the child, to meeting their actual needs rather than just sending them away with their needs unmet. This is such a great step in the right direction.
