FreeThe New Jersey Legislative Disability Caucus invites you to our webinar
Ensuring ALL Children in New Jersey are Fully Included & Treated Equally
Tuesday, October 22 starting at 12:00 pm.
In recognition of Dwarfism Awareness Day, the October 22nd meeting of the Legislative Disability Caucus will begin with a brief discussion around understanding dwarfism and other rare diseases. The remainder of the meeting will delve into the disparities that still exist in school discipline, including seclusion, restraint, suspension, and expulsion, based on race, ethnicity, and disability status and discuss systemic and preventative alternatives to exclusionary discipline. The purpose of the Disability Caucus is to promote inclusion and equity for all—and that is at the heart of the conversation on October 22nd.
