Creating Supportive Environments A Snapshot of James A. Garfield High School, Los Angeles Unified School District
High rates of suspensions and expulsions are daunting problems affecting many California schools. In part, these rates are the result of Zero Tolerance policies enacted in the early 1990s to improve school safety. Although Zero Tolerance policies originally focused on gun carrying, they often were expanded to other behaviors, such as vandalism, bullying, dress code violations, leading to dramatic increases in suspensions and expulsions.
