Right to Education Project
The Right to Education Project (REP) is an education justice project that operates across multiple states. Its primary goal is to advocate for students in the public education system, ensuring that they have access to quality education as their fundamental right. By focusing on education equity and social justice, the REP works to eliminate barriers that hinder students' educational opportunities and perpetuate systemic inequalities. This includes advocating for fair funding, equitable resources, inclusive policies, and supportive learning environments.
The project aims to create a more just and inclusive education system that empowers all students to thrive and reach their full potential. It covers students in charter schools who are experiencing the following forms of school pushout:
- Enrollment and access.
- Suspension, expulsion, and alternative school placements.
- Special education and disability-related needs.
- Discrimination and harassment.
Enrollment and access: Students are denied educational access, which includes situations where they are not allowed to enroll or are not given timely and appropriate access to a quality education. This can happen when the school environment hinders a student's ability to learn.
Suspension, expulsion, and alternative school placements: Students are pushed out of school through exclusionary discipline practices. This includes situations where students are unlawfully or excessively suspended or expelled, or placed in alternative schools or programs as a form of punishment.
Special education and disability-related needs: Students are indirectly pushed out of school due to the school's failure to address their disability-related needs. This can involve situations where students with disabilities are not provided with necessary services, or are excluded from the school environment or from interacting with their non-disabled peers.
Discrimination and harassment: Students are indirectly pushed out of school due to a hostile environment created or not addressed by the school. This includes situations where the school fails to take action against discrimination and harassment, leading to a hostile environment for students.
