School-Based Youth Courts

School-based youth courts help students avoid suspension and improve school culture while using restorative practices. These courts can be completely run by students as young as middle school. Youth courts transform traditional punitive discipline from an impetus to start the school to prison pipeline, to a meaningful teachable moment that can improve decision making of students in the future.
