No More Kids in Jail: A Holistic Look at School Discipline

Juvenile correctional facilities are dumping grounds for discarded children. Harsh discipline in schools often lights their path.

Our guest, David Domenici, has made it his life's work to change the circumstances for children who have been cast aside by society. Founder and Executive Director of the Center for Educational Excellence in Alternative Settings, Mr. Domenici has seen how school discipline can exacerbate otherwise difficult circumstances that children face. We will talk about modifying school discipline practices to prevent juvenile justice interaction for children, and we will discuss what juvenile correctional facilities can do to empower students in custody.

Host, Allison R. Brown, is a civil rights attorney and owner of Allison Brown Consulting (ABC).
