📢 Calling all New Yorkers! 🗽 It's time to shift our approach to discipline in schools. 📚✏️ As our communities evolve, so should our strategies for supporting our students. Instead of resorting to suspensions, let's focus on SOLUTIONS. 🌟 Here's why: 1️⃣ Every student deserves a chance to learn and grow. Suspending them only disrupts their education and can perpetuate a cycle of disengagement. 2️⃣ Suspensions often disproportionately affect marginalized students, contributing to the school-to-prison pipeline. It's time to break this cycle of injustice. 3️⃣ SOLUTIONS not suspensions mean implementing restorative justice practices, counseling services, and mentorship programs. These approaches address the root causes of behavioral issues and foster a positive school environment for all. 🌟 New York State has the opportunity to lead the way in prioritizing the well-being and success of our students. Let's urge policymakers to pass legislation that promotes SOLUTIONS not suspensions. 💪 Together, we can build a brighter future for our youth and our communities. #SolutionsNotSuspensionsNY #EducationEquity 🌟 (fb)
