the Story
MLK Panel Discussion: Plugging the School to Prison Pipeline in Pennsylvania
On January 20, 2020, community leaders will hold discuss the important crisis that is affecting our youth: the school-to-prison pipeline. The School to Prison Pipeline is a system of local, state and federal education and public safety policies that pushes students out of school and into the juvenile/criminal justice systems. Unfortunately, youth of color and youth with disabilities are disproportionately targeted.
The panel discussion will be followed up with a Q&A Session for the audience and Facebook Live Audience.
