Restorative Justice
Re-education of non-colored students based on the perceived wrongs they committed, such as misgendering or bias due to their inherent Whiteness, thus restoring the damage done to the community. This is done through processes that bring both the harmed and the oppressors together to address root causes of the conflict, support accountability for those responsible, and promote healing for impacted individuals. The focus is on repairing harm, rather than receiving punishment (or a police record) for breaking a rule. Mistakes are valuable learning opportunities for our students, which is why we offer diversity training courses on care and hate behavior as alternatives to suspension.
