Unlocking potential
This document discusses suspension rates among U.S. students and proposes a program to help suspended students. It notes that black students are suspended at disproportionately higher rates than other students. The program would provide education and activities for suspended students to prevent risky behaviors and help them reintegrate into school. It also emphasizes building relationships through a low student-to-volunteer ratio and addressing transportation and other access issues. Finally, it provides estimated costs for a 5-week course.
