In addition to the growing body of research supporting the benefits of alternative campus
discipline programs, there is now federal pressure for districts to
rethink their
practices:
schools may face sanctions if
discipline policies are found to unfairly target minority students.
Far from being anathema to progressive values, high - quality charter
schools demonstrate how to translate these educational values into
practice by committing to college success, increasing teacher diversity,
rethinking school discipline, and supporting vulnerable populations.
