Alternatives to policing — in the schools
As the concept of “defunding the police” is discussed nationwide, this week’s program offers an example of how to replace policing and discipline with community-based approaches. Mickey’s guests explain the theory, practice and benefits of using ‘restorative justice’ in the context of public schools.
Amber Yang is a Restorative Justice & Wellness Coordinator at Novato High School in Marin County, California. Phoebe Smith is a long-time public-school teacher and teacher trainer, and is now a consultant to school districts on restorative-justice practices.
