One of the committees of PACT is the Neighborhood Safety Research Committee that is, in fact, in the middle of our focus to decrease the number of [unsupervised] out-of-school suspensions. If this sounds like something you'd like to be involved in or check out, please email me at DeArtbug@aol.com and I can send you more info.

I hope something can be done about this unfair practice. I have first hand experience of such a situation. My son is an 8th grade student at the Miami Arts Charter School and he was given a 5 day outdoor suspension for fighting with a white student who has been harassing him to the extent of sticking him in the back with a sharp object. The Principal said that he based his decision on the "Miami Dade School Board's "Code of Student Conduct-Zero Tolerance Policy". To date the white student involved in the fight has not be suspended. This clearly an example of the double standards that exist the school system. Thank you for a wonderful article. I hope something can be done about this unfair practice.
