The Center for Civil Rights Remedies is dedicated to improving educational opportunities and outcomes for children from subgroups who have been discriminated against historically due to their race/ethnicity, and who are frequently subjected to exclusionary practices such as disciplinary removal, over-representation in special education, and reduced access to a college-bound curriculum.

The Center conducts research on school discipline to identify problems or issues with school districts’ practices, educational policy or it’s implementation, takes direct action to improve policy, and enhances the capacity of advocates to press for successful remedies at the local, state and federal levels.
