Multicultural Academy of Scholarship (MAS) is seeking to develop and sustain their Peer Council, which they began last school year. This body uses restorative justice practices to address student behavior needs. In lieu of traditional forms of discipline, under this model, students consult with a peer who has violated the code of conduct, and through a conference, they reveal the root causes of the misbehavior, identify the damage done by the actions and generate an agreement to repair the relationship. The school will expand training and support for students and staff to specifically focus upon trauma sensitivity as current resources are inadequate.
