Our process
Our process often requires addressing issues with IEPs, 504 plans, RTI goals, staffing and funding for school systems, and even misinterpretation of the Georgia statutory code. Through this we hope to uncover and put a spotlight on a number of structural, systemic issues.
Harsh punitive measures in schools are short-term fixes with long-term repercussions. Help us change Georgia's zero tolerance policies and fight for our most vulnerable youth.
