The school-to-prison pipeline is an issue that cities across the United States face. It is a network of policies that disproportionately affect Black students and students with disabilities, two groups of students who already face oppression outside of educational institutions. I recognize the widespread issue, but for the purpose of my case study my focus is on Los Angeles. In Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) the second largest district in the nation. In the past, the LAUSD school board have passed policies directly targeted at the school-to-prison pipeline effectively making tremendous strides to eradicating this issue and addressing its greatest contributing factors. The main culprits to the school-to-prison pipeline are zero-tolerance policies and their predetermined consequences and school resource officers. A Los Angeles organization, Students Deserve, have had recent victories in the LAUSD dealing with the role of school resource officers and racial disparities. In addition to examine the disparities zero-tolerance policies and school resource officers create, I will examine the organizing strategies implored by Students Deserve that led them to their latest victory.
