Reforming Punishment In Washington Public Schools

Steve Scher talks with Katie Mosehauer, executive director of Washington Appleseed, about proposed changes to school discipline policies in Washington state public schools. The state government passed a law in September that would limit almost all suspensions and expulsions to, at maximum, one year.

There will be a public hearing on the changes on May 5, 2014, from 10 a.m. — 12 p.m. at the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction in Olympia.
