OPEN Cosponsors Dignity In Schools Training February 7th & 8th

Join parents, educators, youth and advocates at a special training session designed to start a movement towards ending harsh and unnecessary zero discipline policies.

The Dignity in Schools Campaign will provide training on model student codes, including the Model Code on Education and Dignity. Group participants are encouraged to continue discussions that lead to continued community dialogue in developing solutions to suspensions and expulsions, including model codes that demonstrate respect, encourage restorative practices, and ensure that children are spending time in the classroom and not on the streets, ultimately ending the “School to Prison Pipeline.”

Please register early, as space is limited. RSVP to [email protected].
