Please join us for an exciting Webinar presented by NAWJ’s Ensuring Racial Equity Committee and Juvenile Justice and Child Welfare Committee, on November 18, 2021, entitled: “Disrupting the School to Prison Pipeline.” The purpose of the Webinar, which is the second in a two-part series, is to discuss practical and effective solutions courts and educational institutions have implemented to tackle this significant problem in our communities, particularly with respect to children of color.

Our distinguished panelists are Hon. Kathie E. Davidson, Dean of the New York State Judicial Institute; Hon. Steve Teske, Chief Presiding Judge, Clayton County, GA (Ret.) and current Deputy Prosecutor, Pascua Yaqui Pueblo Tribe, AZ; and Mr. Valentin Escanuela, M.Ed, San Diego County Office of Education and Executive Leadership Coach. The event will be moderated by Retired Judge Ernestine Steward Gray, Orleans Parish Juvenile Court.

Participants will learn:

  1. What they, as judicial officers, can do to ensure fairness and equity for vulnerable populations;
  2. What innovative programs courts are participating in that have been found to be successful in disrupting the school to prison pipeline;
  3. Ways in which school districts can be brought in as justice partners within our juvenile courts; and
  4. What, if any, costs are incurred in implementing these innovative programs.
