We must confront the harsh truth that the school to prison pipeline is man-made and begins in the classroom.
- Abolish school police programs.
- Ensuring every child regularly meets with a mental health counselor.
- An immediate end to all zero-tolerance policies.
- Capturing disciplinary data, both of the students and adults handing out disciplinary actions. Data must include but not limited to; race, ethnicity, gender identity, special needs, socioeconomic status.
- Defending undocumented students both on campus and in the community against ICE.
