TOOLS FOR THE 2023 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
We need to stay prepared to reach legislators on issues that impact youth justice. This virtual toolkit serves as a guide for the Indiana community to collaboratively advance public policy reform initiatives benefiting children.
This year, the coalition is focused on issues revolving around lack of sufficient investments in services for youth, combined with reliance on harsh school discipline, exclusion, school policing and juvenile justice referrals which continue to contribute to school dropout rates and a perceived need for juvenile and criminal justice system investments.
