Jamaica Miles on Restorative Practices in Schenectady Schools

Schenectady school board member Jamaica Miles and other parents have expressed outrage over the suspension of 14 high schoolers, claiming the incident is the latest in a pattern of harsh disciplinary measures being disproportionately levied against students of color. The students were in a room watching two girls who were expected to fight have a verbal argument that was broken up before any fighting occurred. The parents want the district to utilize restorative practices as the district requires. Ms. Miles talks with Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.
