Release of National Resolution for Ending School Pushout
Over 200 organizations and individuals across the country have signed on to the Dignity in Schools Campaign National Resolution for Ending School Pushout, a call to action for our school systems to end the harsh disciplinary policies that push young people out of school, and to adopt positive alternatives that protect students' human rights to education and dignity.
The release of the National Resolution has been covered on national blogs and radio programs, and organizations around the country have distributed the Resolution to policy-makers and communities.
The Dignity in Schools Campaign (DSC) challenges the systemic problem of pushout in our nation's schools and advocates for the human right of every child to a quality education and to be treated with dignity. The DSC unites policy advocates, parent and student organizers, educators and lawyers in a campaign to promote local and national alternatives to a culture of zero-tolerance, punishment and removal.
This website includes a searchable database of research on pushout, school discipline, and positive alternatives, specific resources for youth, parents and educators, and information about our active campaign projects. Contact us to join the campaign.
