OAKLAND, CA - Rep. Gary Holder-Winfield (D-New Haven), a leader in the movement to reform Connecticut’s educational system, addressed more than 100 policymakers, advocates, parents and youths from across the United States this week at a symposium on school discipline.
The bipartisan group was established to develop consensus-based recommendations for local, state and federal officials who are seeking approaches to school discipline that keep kids in school and out of the juvenile justice system while providing a safe, positive learning environment.
“We launched this project to find ways to create safe, nurturing environments in our schools without relying on suspension and expulsion to manage student behaviors. In the wake of the tragedy at Sandy Hook, it is more important than ever to find ways to increase school safety and promote effective partnerships with law enforcement,” said Rep. Holder-Winfield, deputy majority leader in the Connecticut General Assembly.
