On October 30, CJJ hosted a webinar on the School to Prison Pipeline: An Overview of the Issues and Potential Solutions for Reform. This webinar provided an overview of the School to Prison Pipeline, specifically examining how the overuse of suspension and the presence of police in schools affect young people. The Dignity in Schools Campaign, a multi-stakeholder coalition made up of youth, parents, educators, grassroots groups, and policy and legal advocacy groups, presented on its initiatives to challenge school pushout. Presenters offered potential tools and solutions to address the issues raised by the pipeline through examples from their own work on the ground. Presenters included Kaitlin Banner of the Advancement Project and Fernando Martinez, Harold Jordan, and Marsha Weissman from the Dignity in Schools Campaign. You can watch the recording of the webinar here and see the PowerPoint Presentation here. The presenters also referrred to the Model Memorandum of Understanding between a School District and a Policy or Sheriff's Department, the Advancement Project Model School Discipline Policy, the Denver Intergovernmental Agreement Concerning the Funding, Implementation and Administration of Programs Involving Police Officers in Schools, the Buffalo Public Schools Standards for Community-Wide Conduct and Intervention Supports, the Oakland School Police Department Public Complaints Process and Complaints Reports Policy and the Dignity in Schools Campaign Model Code as resources.
