Redstone Center, Center for Health and Health Care in Schools Submit Joint Testimony on Trauma-Informed Care in DC Schools

On February 13th, the Redstone Center Policy Director, Jeff Hild and associate professor and Director of the Center for Health and Health Care in Schools, Olga Acosta Price submitted joint testimony to DC Council in support of the “Student Fair Access to School Act.” The bill includes reforms to school discipline approaches, which the two GWSPH Centers generally support, but the testimony focuses on "the trauma informed provisions (Section 5) of the “Student Fair Access to School Act,” which we believe could help lead to a transformation in how District schools support students who have experienced adversity."
