Are you concerned about school discipline policies an d practices? Passionate about finding restorative solutions? Interested to hear about what parents and students are doing to bring about change? Come to the Bronx School Justice Report Back – a fascinating look at how parents , students, and community allies frustrated by the high rates of school arr ests, suspensions and summonses in the Bronx successfully petitioned the NY C Department of Education and NYPD School Safety Division to begin making d rastic reductions in school policing in the Bronx. Members of the Bronx Sch ool Justice coalition will share back key accomplishments made in the past year, including a remarkable 56% drop in Bronx school arrests in just one s chool year. We will also host workshops on best practices and challenges of implementing restorative practices in schools; the New York City Disciplin e Code; safety transfers, and our methods for bringing together a broad cro ss-section of different community stakeholders to the table.
