 THANK YOU to all who attended the Safe Schools, Fair Schools summit on school suspensions. We had lots of interest, a great crowd and good press coverage.
There have been many requests for copies of the infographic that was distributed, highlighting the "stops" on the school-to-prison pipeline in North Carolina. While we do not have more hard copies to offer, you can click here for the electronic version in  PDF. If you need a big order of the infographic, please contact us and we will direct you to the printer we used. The cost for printing is very reasonable.
