I don't think I've ever seen a program turn around in this short of time at any level of football and from a guy that's only been in town a couple months is amazing

#SB274 will stop suspensions and expulsions for willful defiance and truancy in all CA schools. Consequences like these that deprive students of time in school only compounds the problem. Stay tuned for more info about why this is so important and what comes next! #showthemlove

Join us in supporting @NancySkinnerCA's #SB274, an important step in replacing harsh discipline with compassion. As educators, we know that it is critical step to #showthemlove. Help spread the word.

Thank you Asm Ed Cmte, @AsmMuratsuchi, @AsmKevinMcCarty, @Alex_Lee & @QuirkSilvaCA for voting to move #SB274 forward & eliminating this practice that perpetuates systemic inequities. Thank you @NancySkinnerCA for championing this bill. #showthemlove
“Willful Defiance” suspensions consistently target marginalized students at much higher rates than their peers. As Californians, we must do better for our public school students and community members. #showthemlove #sb274

We are thrilled #SB274 is moving forward. At the same time we must also explore the underlying biases that drive the current discipline practices. #showthemlove
