School to Prison Pipeline
Public forum: Is There a School to Prison Pipeline at the Pasadena Unified School District?
Soaring dropout rates, rising suspensions and expulsions, police on campus, overly harsh one-size-fits-all discipline policies, high poverty rates, court involvement and juvenile detention all suggest the pipeline to prison is present at the Pasadena Unified School District.
