Parent-to-Parent Guide: Restorative Justice

Parent to Parent Guide to Restorative Justice report cover

Parents have to be involved and take the initiative in local schools. But we also need to know our rights and understand the system! Part of this guide is sharing what we believe is important to know when your son or daughter is suspended, expelled, or otherwise punished in a way that you think is unfair or inappropriate.

This guide provides background on POWER-PAC IL’s Elementary Justice Campaign and their work to end “zero-tolerance” policies and bring restorative justice to the schools. It also gives suggestions for parents wanting to bring restorative practices to their schools.
