Meridian, MS, has been in the news often over the past several months for it's horrendous school-to-prison pipeline. But the sad reality is that the injustices committed there – the heavy and unequal punishments levied for minor offenses, the absurd amount of police involvement in school discipline, the denial of due process rights to students – are happening across the state. A new report from our allies at the Mississippi NAACP, the ACLU, and the Advancement Project reveals that "Mississippi is mired in an extreme school discipline crisis."

Our allies at Opportunity to Learn – Wisconsin will be hosting an exciting panel at the 92nd annual Wisconsin Education Convention in Milwaukee! It's a fantastic chance for educators to learn about the state's OTL Campaign and the types of supports and policies students need to succeed. The Convention will take place Thursday, Jan. 24th at the Delta Center
