Texas Appleseed's School-to-Prison Pipeline: https://www.texasappleseed.org/school-prison-pipeline
Zero tolerance disciplinary policies, increased reliance on law enforcement and courts to address student misbehavior, and hostile school climates all contribute to a school-to-prison pipeline in Texas. Texas Appleseed is working to dismantle the school-to-prison pipeline and keep children in school and on track to graduate. We research, analyze data and report on issues such as school disciplinary policies; ticketing, arrest and use of force in public schools; court involvement in student discipline; and the effectiveness of alternative education programs to help close pathways to dropout and incarceration. Working on a number of fronts, we advocate for policy changes on the state level, as well as the local and school district level, that close pathways to dropout and incarceration.
