YLC joins coalition advocating for vulnerable students during COVID-19 and beyond

Youth Law Center has partnered with fellow statewide advocacy organizations to create policy recommendations and coordinated Bay Area advocates to push County Offices of Education and school districts to adopt equitable practices, with the goal of furthering our work to end the school-to-prison pipeline. System-involved students are particularly vulnerable during this global health crisis and we urge our state leaders to take action to ensure both students’ access to services and educational opportunities, and their general health and wellbeing. Click here to read our recommendations and click here for our full letter to California’s County Offices of Education.
