Representing Students in School Discipline Proceedings as a Way to Address Racial Disparities in Education Outcomes
Date:
April 27, 2022
Time:
Due to the intersection between poverty, race, gender, and disability play out in the school discipline context, it is important to increase the ability of advocates to represent students in a way that not only protects their due process rights but also identifies resources that can prevent disciplinary concerns in the future. Furthermore, increasing student representation in these settings has the potential to disrupt the schools-to-prison pipeline. This training is an attempt to increase the capacity of the bar to help students reach their potential and minimize the impacts of disproportionate exclusionary discipline practices in the Seattle area. Attending attorneys will have an opportunity to work with a Washington non-profit, the Kienan Ellis Education Project (KEEP Washington). A Goal of KEEP Washington is Stopping the school-to-prison pipeline, with a service area focusing on Seattle Public Schools.
