Too often schools treat students in ways that dismiss their
promise, marginalize their presence, and discourage learning.
This section of the website gives parents, youth, community
members, and advocates the tools to make necessary changes
in discipline and school climate so that our schools are welcoming,
respectful, and responsive to the unique students they educate.
Tools for Achieving Fair Discipline
The policy recommendations in this toolkit are based on the
more comprehensive recommendations discussed in the ACLU of
Northern California’s Discipline
in California Schools: Legal Requirements and Positive School
Environments. The ACLU-NC hopes that advocates will use
this toolkit along with Discipline in California Schools to
develop more just and positive discipline strategies in our
public schools, so that California youth have a better chance
of graduating from elementary and secondary schools with the
education they deserve.
