An Alternative to In-School Suspension

In lieu of a more punitive approach, students use restorative practices to resolve conflicts and reflect on their behaviors.

February 5, 2018

Conflict resolution is a key aspect of Pearl-Cohn Entertainment Magnet High School’s approach to infractions that previously might have merited in-school suspension. In the school’s restorative circles, counselors guide students to recognize the impact of their behavior on their peers and the school as a whole.
