Why We Must Keep the Federal School Discipline Guidance Package
The Federal School Discipline Guidance Package, issued by the U.S. Departments of Education and Justice in 2014, is being threatened.

Check out the video below to learn more about about how you can help Texas students, and go to our Voter Voice page to easily send a letter to Education Secretary Betsy DeVos to urge her to keep the Federal School Discipline Guidance Package in place.
