Student project: Student-led program aims to resolve conflicts in Columbus City Schools

Student-led restorative practices (SLRP) is a new program in Columbus City Schools that empowers students to mediate conflicts. Student journalist Angel Pinto was part of the first group of students to receive the program training, and sought out to learn more about its potential as an alternative to punishments like suspensions or expulsion. This podcast was produced through the Columbus Journalists in Training program.
