It\u2019s subjective, it\u2019s vague, and once you have subjectivity, you have a greater likelihood of bias,\u201d said Dawn Yuster, Esq., director of the School Justice Project for Advocates for Children. Last year, Advocates for Children released an update to their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.advocatesforchildren.org\/sites\/default\/files\/library\/police_response_students_in_crisis.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">report<\/a>, \u201cPolice Response to Students in Emotional Crisis: A Call for Comprehensive Mental Health and Social-Emotional Support for Students in Police-Free Schools,\u201d which showed that disabled students\u2014which includes students labeled ED\u2014are more likely to be removed from schools, or restrained by the police and school safety agents.\u00a0<\/p><p>Students with an ED classification are often segregated into District 75, New York City\u2019s designation for classrooms, programs, or entire schools that provide specialized support for disabled students. Advocates for Children\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.advocatesforchildren.org\/node\/1793\" target=\"_blank\">report<\/a> found that while District 75 students only make up 2.3% of the public school student population, over 9% \u201cchild in crisis\u201d interventions involving the use of handcuffs between 2018 and 2020 happened at a District 75 school. This analysis also notes that during the same period more than one-in-five students handcuffed while in crisis was a District 75 student.<\/p><p>\u201cOur data suggests that low-income Black students with emotional and behavioral disabilities are disproportionately referred to some District 75 schools where they are segregated from their peers, heavily policed, and may not be receiving the therapeutic support and services that they need,\u201d said Yuster. She went on to explain how students of color are often miscategorized as emotionally disturbed by adding, \u201ca lot of these [disruptive] behaviors are manifestations of woefully deficient services, inappropriate diagnoses, or an unmet academic learning behavioral need.\u201d\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/prismreports.org\/2022\/05\/12\/new-yorkers-against-labeling-students-emotionally-disturbed\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Read article<\/em><\/a><\/p>","":null,"settings":[]}}],"relationships":{"":null,"article_type":[83],"topics":[24],"misc_topics":[198]},"misc":{"search_results":{"":null,"excerpt":"","featured_image":""}}},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
