Stop the Schoolhouse to Jailhouse Track

Web Design with Content Management System

Launch the Stop Schools to Jails Web site >

Client: Advancement Project Washington DC

OVERVIEW:
Harsh school policies and practices and an increased role of law enforcement in schools have combined to create a “schoolhouse-to-jailhouse track,” in which out-of-school suspensions, expulsions, and school-based arrests are increasingly used to deal with student misbehavior, especially for minor incidents, and huge numbers of children and youth are pushed out of school and into the juvenile and criminal justice systems. This is more than an education crisis; it is a racial justice crisis because the students pushed out through harsh discipline are disproportionately students of color.

WHAT WE DID:
We designed and developed the Stop the Schoolhouse to Jailhouse Web site, with a Flash map on the home page and a Drupal Content Management System that allows Advancement Project to make content updates.
