Alternative to Suspensions Webinar Series: Ed Code
March 22, 2022
3:30 to 5:00pm
Santa Clara County (SCCOE) and Alameda County (ACOE) Office of Education are partnering to host a no-cost Alternatives to Suspension spring webinar series! The goal of the Alternatives to Suspension Webinar Series is to share best practices and alternatives to discipline options for schools with students found on campus using or in possession of tobacco or vape products
Together we will explore:
• The increase in student vaping/tobacco use that has led to increased suspensions/expulsions
• The disproportionality of student discipline on the basis of race, disability, socioeconomic status and sexual orientation
• Alternatives to discipline and suspension that schools have put in place to support students and families
• Opportunities to shift from punitive responses to social and emotional supports towards healthy habits
• Intervention and cessation options for teen vaping/tobacco use vs. punitive responses
• Obtain resources and information to promote student engagement and social emotional learning for youth
