Suspended Futures: The School Discipline Debate

Suspended Futures: The School Discipline Debate is a forum, organized by St. Louis Public Radio, the Nine Network and Focus St. Louis that will examine the link between school discipline, suspension and expulsion, and racial bias in the St. Louis region.

This 90-minute town hall will bring together students, parents, community leaders and non-profits to create further awareness of the issue, understand the problem’s larger impact, and find steps to achieve solutions.

Please join us a week before the taping for a Twitter Chat using #AmGradSTL on Wednesday, October 21 at 7 pm.
