Disproportionate discipline and Chronic Absenteeism are issues facing the majority of school districts in Northeast Ohio. Restorative Practices, specifically aligned to the work district administrators do with students and families, may be one tool to mitigating these issues.

  

From conducting initial meetings with students when dealing with code of conduct infractions, to facilitating family attendance conferences, to holding suspension meetings with parents and students, to conducting expulsion hearings, to managing a reintegration meeting - restorative practices provide you with the ability to not only deal with the issue at hand, but to lessen the chance of the same infraction happening again. It may also stem the rising practice of appealing building and district-level discipline decisions to the Board.
