Ohio 8 Superintendent Quoted in National Press Regarding Impact of “Zero Tolerance” Policy on Minority Students

ACS recently connected the Associated Press with Akron Public Schools Superintendent David W. James in an article that examined the prevalence of justice system involvement in school discipline policies – and the disproportionate number of minority students who are affected by such policies. James spoke honestly and directly about a recent analysis of student discipline in his district, and what a new set of federal recommendations might mean for Akron Public Schools. The article appeared in newspapers across the country.
