AFC Joins 60+ Organizations Calling for a Statewide Moratorium on Suspensions

AFC joined more than 60 organizations to call on New York State to issue a moratorium on suspensions for the 2020-2021 school year to ensure every child has the best possible chance to makeup for lost classroom time, and for schools to reopen after a traumatic year in a manner that promotes equity and healing.
