SC Appleseed Op-Ed: Beaufort County School District Must Keep Kids Out of Prison Pipeline

South Carolina Appleseed Legal Justice Center’s Staff Attorney Amanda Adler and Deputy Director Stephen Scuggs wrote an editorial piece that has been published in The Island Packet. The letter details how S.C. Appleseed, along with the Southern Poverty Law Center, filed an administrative class complaint with the state’s Department of Education against the Beaufort County School District on behalf of five students and their peers, whom the school district failed to provide with much-needed special education services and who were then suspended and recommended for expulsion.
