Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Justice jointly issued school discipline guidance to school districts and schools across the country outlining key principles for improving school climates and eliminating discipline disparities that persist among minority and special education students.
Ensuring equal educational opportunities for all students can be difficult in an age of instructional mandates and limited resources. But state boards of education can play a proactive role in addressing these challenges by working with school districts to cultivate positive school experiences and identify, prevent, and redress discriminatory discipline.
