NESRI is a founding member of the Student Safety Coalition, a coalition of nineteen organizations working to increase accountability over school safety and discipline policies to protect students’ human rights to education and to be treated with dignity in school. The Student Safety Act would create new data reporting requirements about discipline and safety incidents in schools to increase transparency, and would require that students be educated about their rights to file complaints against school safety agents.
