The School Patrol

A Community of Parents and Professionals Who Provide Educational Advocacy and Supportive Services
for Students Who Look, Learn, and Love Differently and the professionals who serve them

The School Patrol is a community of parents and professionals who collaborate to guard and ensure the preservation of the protected rights of students who teachers who may have been discriminated against because of their disability, race, culture, gender, and/or sexual preference. While there are laws which were designed to ensure equitable treatment for all students, research has shown that Special Needs students, English Language Learners, African American students, and LGBTQ
identified pupils continue to be disciplined and/or suspended at a higher rate than their peers.
