"One S.A. school changed its discipline culture — can others? Pilot discipline program ends at White Middle School "

I'm hitting a paywall. Thx in adv.

It was ref'ed, linked: http://www.sacurrent.com/the-daily/...st-verbal-attack-at-universal-city-restaurant Fri July 15, which Elley Mae posted.

Curious about a change in 'discipline culture' (presumably improved student behavior), but headline says pilot program is ending. Huh?

Same paywall for me at S.A. Express but I found this:

Waco ISD Piloting New Discipline Model At 2 Schools

Restorative discipline has been used across the country and takes its cues from a movement in the criminal justice system, where the goal is for offenders to redress the harm caused by criminal behavior, rather than being locked away.

...

“The idea is rather than taking students and excluding them from their school community when they’ve committed some kind of an offense, instead you try to help them make restitution and repair the harm that’s been done to relationships," Bender says.

...

“So the restorative discipline facilitator will start working with a lot of staff because the staff’s behavior is really what changes first, long before the student behavior changes and so staff members, especially interested staff members. We like to start where the wood is dry, so we go where people are already interested and already restorative in their approach and really build on their success," Bender says.

Could it be ending so they can review it before implementing it?
