Bill Summary
For legislation to interrupt the school to prison pipeline. Education.
AI Summary
This bill aims to interrupt the "school to prison pipeline" by addressing high student suspension and expulsion rates in Massachusetts. It requires school districts with high rates of students being removed from classrooms to use specific systems and tools, such as "Restorative Justice" and "Personalized Learning (Summit Learning)", which have demonstrated their value in keeping students in the classroom. The bill also directs the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to track these school districts and ensure they comply with the existing Chapter 222 law, which was implemented in 2014 to decrease suspension and expulsion rates.
