LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Jefferson County Public Schools is expected to announce how it plans to improve the overall culture and climate throughout the district on Monday.
The main focus will be on expanding restorative practices -- ways to resolve conflict other than punishment -- through things like community building and restoring relationships.
JCPS and the faith-based group CLOUT will come together Monday morning to talk about the issues.
CLOUT, which stands for Citizens of Louisville Organized and United Together, says schools that already use these practices have fewer suspensions and behavioral problems.
The group expects to roll out restorative practices throughout the district within the next six years.
