YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe experiences of Black students in the Lubbock region are clear for public schools to take proactive approaches to combat racism.
We hear more and more about these incidents and how black students end up being more victimized.
Paige Duggins-Clay, a civil rights lawyer with the Intercultural Development Research Association, has filed a racial discrimination complaint against the Slaton ISD. She joins me to discuss the complaint and the remedies.
Paige, let's talk about some of the remedies this complaint is demanding.
Revise, as necessary, Slaton ISD's anti-harassment, anti-discrimination, and anti-bullying policies to ensure they are reasonably designed to prevent, address, and respond to incidents of harassment.
Ensure that Slaton High School's code of conduct includes a clarifying statement that the
prohibition on bullying and harassment specifically includes bullying on the basis of a student's protected characteristics, including a student's race, color, and/or national origin.
Effectively implement alternatives to exclusionary discipline placement, such as restorative practices, to eliminate harmful placements in DAEP that target Black students.
Train educators and administrators on appropriate school discipline practices, including training relating to investigating disciplinary complaints, combatting bias and discrimination in disciplinary determinations, identifying and relying on credible evidence, and ensuring disciplinary decisions are implemented consistent with the district's progressive discipline policies and Positive Behavior Intervention Support (PBIS) programs.
Establish a process for reviewing claims of erroneous discipline unlawfully imposed on Black students, including expungement of findings from school and District records.
Publish annually on the district's website a written report summarizing the reports of racial bullying and harassment (with student identifying information redacted) and their disposition, in order to ensure transparency and accountability for the community.
