Hope for reducing Native student expulsions
A pilot program in a handful of New Mexico schools aims to cut down on the high number of Native American expulsions.
It uses conflict resolution and restorative justice methods to both build a sense of community and hold students accountable for bad behavior. Proponents hope the program in the schools can mirror successes in other institutions.
The pilot program comes after reports that Native students are expelled at a higher rate than others.
