Jim Freeman, director of the Ending the Schoolhouse to Jailhouse Track project, works with grassroots organizations and school districts across the country on a variety of education reform efforts. Freeman has researched and co-authored a number of reports on issues of educational justice, and provided technical assistance to the Baltimore City Public Schools as it revised its student code of conduct in 2008. Freeman will provide a national perspective on school discipline and arrests.
This OSI-Baltimore event is the third in a series of forums to examine various models of collaboration between law enforcement officials and public schools and their effect on school safety and student outcomes.
