What's at Stake

The 老澳门开奖结果 supports equal access to educational opportunities for people with disabilities. The 老澳门开奖结果 is also committed to challenging the 鈥渟chool-to-prison pipeline,鈥 a disturbing national trend wherein children are funneled out of public schools and into the juvenile and criminal justice systems. Students with disabilities and students of color with disabilities are disproportionately targeted by school police. They would benefit from support by much-needed mental health staff鈥攃ounselors, social workers, and school psychologists. Instead, they are isolated, punished, and pushed out.

We promote an education system that is free from school policing and punitive disciplinary methods鈥攕uch as corporal punishment, restraint and seclusion, and bullying鈥攁nd inappropriate and overused suspensions and expulsions. We oppose the use of vouchers and separate schools that further segregate and impoverish the education of students with disabilities.
