Beyond Zero Tolerance
Discipline and Policing in Pennsylvania Public Schools
“Zero tolerance” describes a policy that “assigns explicit, predetermined punishments to specific violations of school rules, regardless of the situation or context of the behavior.” The original rationale was that serious offenses should be met with firm discipline. But in practice, zero tolerance has had a much broader reach and impact. Its use is not confined to the most serious situations.
