Join Teachers Unite and our coalition partners in the Dignity in Schools Campaign–New York on Tuesday, June 5th  as students, parents, teachers, and advocates from across the city convene a press conference to address the overuse of suspensions and other punitive discipline in New York City’s schools. We need your help in sending a strong message to the DOE that punitive discipline does not work. The DOE must reduce suspensions, and invest in the proven, positive alternatives that work and that are being used with great success in schools around the City. Our children deserve to be on a school pathway to success - not a pipeline to prison.
