    If we focus our lens on just policies and not practice- we will never truly transform the culture & climate that will ultimately dictate the experience our students have. Let us be radical in our reimagining of safety in schools AND communities!

    It’s time for a transformation.

    We’ve collected and sifted through various data sets over the past 10 years + throughout this process, we have seen the same narrative portrayed: Schools are making massive amounts of calls for service to police that resulted in less than 5% of arrests. WE MUST SHIFT THE CULTURE
