Keep Vulnerable Children in School – OPPOSE SB 614

Share via

Updated March 7, 2024: There’s still time to make some noise in opposition to SB 614.

From the Legislative Action Team on Children and Families:

While teachers undoubtedly need more support and tools to address problematic student behavior, the primary response in SB 614 is removing, excluding, and isolating children who are generally between the ages of 5 and 10 years old. Problematic behavior in children is usually symptomatic of deeper issues a child is facing – such as adverse childhood experiences, effects of poverty, and unmet mental health needs.

Punitive and exclusionary responses to disciplinary infractions further isolate vulnerable children.

Tell your to vote NO on SB 614 and keep kids in school.
