The school-to-prison pipeline has been prominent in the education debate for the past several years, and youth, parents, teachers, and communities across the country have put questions of school discipline, restorative justice and implicit bias at the heart of their organizing work.

The Center for Policing Equity (CPE) has earned headlines and praise for its research of the intersections of policing and implicit bias, most recently in releasing landmark data showing how police use-of-force incidents against Black people were disproportionate — more than three times higher than whites.

The Schott Foundation joined CPE for an exclusive webinar in participants unpacked the latest research and insights on policing and implicit bias in schools, sketched out new paths for restorative practices, and discussed the kinds of policy reforms needed in schools and communities to make school discipline reform a reality.

Our speakers included:

• Dr. Phillip A. Goff, Cofounder and President, Center for Policing Equity
• Dr. John H. Jackson, President & CEO, Schott Foundation for Public Education (Moderator)
