The U.S. Commission on the Social Status of Black Men and Boys (CSSBMB) has released a new report examining the School-to-Prison Pipeline and its disproportionate impact on Black boys in the United States. The report highlights how exclusionary discipline practices, inequitable school policies, and systemic bias contribute to increased rates of suspension, expulsion, and justice system involvement for Black boys and men. Drawing on national data and research, the Commission outlines key findings and offers policy recommendations aimed at promoting educational equity, reducing punitive discipline, and ensuring schools serve as pathways to opportunity rather than punishment.
