The CUNY Suspension Representation Project chapter and Dignity in Schools Campaign-NY are hosting a panel discussion entitled Suspended Opportunities: The Effect of Zero Tolerance Discipline in New York City Public Schools on Tuesday, November 1, 6-8pm at CUNY School of Law, 65-21 Main Street in Flushing (directions below).
The goals of the panel are: to generate a dialogue about the effect of school suspensions; to discuss disciplinary alternatives; and to educate the community about suspensions, including collateral issues such as racial (in)justice.
Confirmed panelists include:
* Johanna Miller, Assistant Advocacy Director at the New York Civil Liberties Union
* Sarah Arvey, Middle School Teacher in Queens and member of Teachers Unite and DSCNY
*Chima Agwu, High School Student in Bronx and member of Sistas and Brothas United and DSCNY
The panel will be moderated by Professor Susan Markus, a CUNY faculty member who also serves as an Impartial Hearing Officer on cases brought under the Disability Education Act.
I hope you will consider joining us on November 1. The event is free and open to the public and dinner will be served. Please feel free to pass along this invitation to any colleagues of yours who might be interested in this event.
