Zero Tolerance Policy Analysis: 30 Years of School-Based Policies in Practice
Part of ISTELive 26Presented by Natasha Johnson | Thaddeus Johnson
Wednesday 1 July 2026·10:00 am
We distill 30 years of zero-tolerance practice—from the Gun-Free Schools Act to district handbooks—using Georgia/Fulton County as a case. Attendees learn which infractions drive exclusions, equity impacts, and concrete replacements: tiered codes, restorative routines, data audits by school & grade, and MOUs limiting law-enforcement referrals.
