Dignity in Schools, Los Angeles Chapter
The Los Angeles Chapter of the Dignity in Schools Campaign (DSC-LA) is a coalition of youth, parents, educators and advocates working together to challenge the systemic problem of “pushout” from Los Angeles schools. DSC-LA promotes an approach to school discipline that values human rights, every child’s fundamental right to an education, and child-centered, dignified reform in schools to keep children in school, rather than current approaches that punish and exclude children.
