FAIR supports children facing disciplinary removal from school. Partnering with community organizations, Juvenile Courts, and DFCS, the program builds a network of advocates to assist these children. Key services include:

• Trainings and Resources: Virtual and in-person training, online courses, and written materials to equip community members to advocate for children in school disciplinary hearings (tribunals).

• Community Advocacy Support (CAS): Guidance on the tribunal process and strategic preparation for cases. 

• Direct Legal Representation: Matching children with attorneys for complex cases to ensure effective advocacy during school tribunals.

The hundreds of children who are referred to the FAIR Project every year see significant improvements in educational supports and fewer days out of school for discipline challenges. Click here to refer a child who is facing disciplinary removal from school for more than 10 days.
