Equity and Diversity

Overview

Progressive Discipline uses gradual consequences to address inappropriate behavior to teach pro-social behavior. Restorative Justice means nonpunitive intervention and support provided by the school to a pupil to improve the behavior of the pupil and remedy any harm caused by the pupil. Restorative Practices within the field of education are positive social interactions that create equitable and safe learning conditions. Engaging restoratively with students before, during, and following a disciplinary offense fosters student accountability, growth, and the opportunity to repair the harm. For additional information, please refer to the 2023 Legislative Session Guidance Memorandum #23-04 Implementing Discipline and Restorative Justice Updates Adopted During the 82nd Legislative Session (Assembly Bills 330 and 285, 2023).
