Safe & Supportive School Environments

In education, discipline equity is a crucial principle that guarantees fairness, respect, and comprehensive growth for all students. We believe that every student, regardless of their background, should receive fair and consistent discipline that fosters their development. By championing discipline equity, we create a safe and supportive learning environment that helps students become responsible citizens and make a positive impact on their communities.

Discipline equity must also be paired with policies that ensure students have what they need to succeed in and out of the classroom. This includes expanding access to school-based mental health supports, ensuring all students have reliable access to healthy meals, and investing in creative outlets such as the arts, music, and hands-on learning opportunities.
