ABOUT DIGNITY IN SCHOOLS CAMPAIGN

 

The DSC started more than five years ago when local grassroots and advocacy groups fighting to end school pushout came together to share information and strategies and build a common framework for dignity and human rights in our schools. In 2009, DSC held its first national conference, released the National Resolution for Ending School Pushout, and shared the first draft of a Model School Code based on fundamental human rights principles. Since 2010, DSC has held an annual National Week of Action on School Pushout and a series of Days at the Capitol, engaging groups around the country in collective advocacy to impact federal law and policy.

The DSC has now grown into a multi-stakeholder coalition of more than 50 organizations from 18 states and Washington, DC, which strives to ensure that those most affected by the education system and school pushout are at the center of our work and leadership structures. DSC’s Membership is structured to create a space for all to both contribute to the work and to benefit from the collective advancements of the coalition and local successes of its members.
