Troopers Teaching Students: Ending the School to Prison Pipeline and Creating Safe Schools
Tuesday, April 23, 2019 from 7 PM to 8:30 PM
Character Be About It, a transformational evidence-based preventative program, has been designed to put trained active troopers-law enforcement in the classroom to educate K-8 students on the importance of good character. How does this program disrupt a negative culture and hopelessness in youth while reducing daily suspensions, truancy, and bullying while also improving students' overall performance and relationships with law enforcement? Character Be About It President and CEO Matt Harris will outline the successes of this program and its mission to end the school to prison pipeline while creating safe schools. – Matt Harris, President/CEO, Character Be About It
