Georgia Appleseed Center for Law & JusticeSchool Justice
We work with schools to provide children with needed supports and reduce their risk of involvement with the juvenile justice system. Schools with effective discipline policies keep kids in class learning and create a safe and productive learning environment for all students.

To reduce a student's risk of involvement with the juvenile justice system, we work with schools, families, government agencies and others across the state on best practices and critical supports:
Developing resources for families, educators, caseworkers and others to advocate for children in schools (Keeping Kids in Class toolkit)
Expanding access to behavioral supports at school (School-Based Behavioral Health)
Convening stakeholders (Georgia Education Climate Coalition)
Providing legal guidance and representation for children facing disciplinary removal from school (FAIR Project)
