About the “Disrupting the School to Prison Pipeline” Project
This project will create systems change and provide opportunity for students who are disproportionally affected by policies and practices that deprive them of a typical education (especially those with disabilities). In addition, this project will provide equitable experiences, access to a quality education and instructional time and provide supports and services that lead to inclusion of the student in a typical school/classroom environment similar to their peers.
