| A Giant LEAPP in School-wide Discipline Tuesday,

Steven Klein Director of Safe and Drug Free Schools, School District U-46
Carolyn Pereira, Executive Director Constitutional Rights Foundation Chicago
With the support of a U.S. Department of Education 21st Century grant, Illinois School
District U-46, in conjunction with the Constitutional Rights Foundation Chicago, has
developed an alternative to out of school suspension program. This program gives upper
elementary and middle school students an alternative of three Saturday mornings of
intensive instruction in lieu of the traditional out of school suspension for a breach of
school rules. The curriculum is a mixture of traditional law-related education, conflict
resolution and anger management. There is mandatory parent participation and a police
partnership in the instruction. This session will attempt to explain the program, as well
as the curriculum development process. Preliminary evaluation data will be shared.
