Many years of work culminated in EIGHT (8) new school discipline and juvenile justice reform bills being introduced and making their way through committees! Please visit www.fixschooldiscipline.org for all the details and call (323) 752-9997 or email (info@cadre-la.org) us at CADRE if you want to get involved in our statewide policy advocacy. Congrats to all of us in this fight to fulfill the human rights to dignity, quality education, and participation…we are finally starting to shift perception and belief that zero tolerance works – it doesn’t, and we are finally creating the conditions to change how we respond to and support children, youth, and parents who are criminalized because of their skin color and where they live. We’ve got a long way to go – but we can definitely celebrate what we’ve been able to do in LA Unified, the City of LA, and now California-wide.

I guess we could have predicted it would come to this. What else can be extpceed when the tax money is going to the testing companies instead of to the classrooms, and then the schools are punished for not making AYP. The whole NCLB concept was designed to be a disaster in the making.But don’t the public schools have an obligation to educate everyone?[]
