Missouri’s school discipline is inequitable. For years, the disproportionate discipline of students of color and students with disabilities has prevented these students from achieving their educational potential.

Missouri has one of the largest discipline disparity gaps in the country, ranking worse than 40 other states.

Together, we must do better for our children. We hope you will join us in this fight.
