Garder les enfants à l’école et hors du tribunal : rapport et recommandations
Rapport de mai 2013 et recommandations du groupe de travail sur le partenariat école-justice de la ville de New York. Sous la direction de l'ancienne juge en chef Judith Kaye, le groupe de travail a réuni un groupe unique et compétent d'acteurs clés des communautés de l'éducation et de la justice qui n'avaient pas eu auparavant la chance de collaborer. Le rapport présente un plan d'action pour le prochain maire afin de réduire les suspensions, les convocations et les arrestations dans les écoles.
In the 2011-12 school year, there were 69,694 suspensions and 2,548 arrests and summonses in the NYC public schools. Research and experience have shown that we can keep our schools safe while reducing these high rates of suspensions and arrests, which are linked to high rates of school failure, drop out, and future court involvement. We need effective and fair school discipline, with schools creating and nurturing a climate and culture that promote positive behavior, and we need targeted, consistent collaboration between the education, justice, and social service systems, as well as the communities they serve. This report, released on May 30, 2013, outlines a plan of action for the next mayor to lead a city-wide effort to keep kids in school and out of court.
