SCHOOLS & POLICE
New Training Opportunity for School Staff
Developed by the Connecticut Juvenile Justice Advisory Committee (JJAC) and the Connecticut Office of Policy and Management (OPM)
Did you know that a recent national study using 2009/2010 data found that Connecticut:
1) Had the highest rate in the nation for out-of-school suspensions of Latinos?
2) Had the 3rd highest gap between the rates of suspensions for Blacks and Whites?
3) Was one of two states that has already responded to the research on suspensions?
Find out what the most recent Connecticut disciplinary data
show about your district and what the data mean.
Learn what school personnel at all levels can do to improve
school climate and reduce suspensions and arrests of students.
Become aware of the roles of juvenile justice agencies and
