PAAO Partners with Portland Parent Union for Dignity in Schools Campaign
Thousands of parents, youth, and educators will take part in student-led actions and events in many cities to expose the school pushout crisis in our nation and advocate for the human right of every young person to a quality education and to be treated with dignity. The events and actions will include, public forums, rallies, restorative justice trainings, and more.
The Dignity in Schools Campaign’s National Week of Action brings together organizations and individuals from many states to call for an end to zero tolerance policies, for the implementation of positive approaches to discipline, like restorative justice practices and positive behavior supports instead of relying solely on suspensions and expulsions, and for the passage of federal legislation that promotes positive school climates.
