TeamChild Hackathon: Disrupting the School-to-Prison Pipeline

TeamChild is a nationally recognized nonprofit serving children in crisis across Washington State for 20 years. By drawing on its legal expertise, it works to break the cycle of arrest and detention that drives the school-to-prison pipeline. TeamChild advocates for anything but jail including helping kids get back in school, securing physical and mental health services, finding safe and stable housing, and connecting to other positive supports to ensure their health and safety in the community. TeamChild is in the midst of an ambitious effort to scale its impact across Washington.

<P>For far too many students, disproportionally students of color, entering the gateway to incarceration begins with a referral from the classroom to the courtroom. This phenomenon funnels students out of school and into the streets and the juvenile correction system perpetuates a cycle known as the “School-to-Prison-Pipeline,” depriving children and youth of meaningful opportunities for education, future employment, and participation in our democracy.” The emergence of the school-to-prison pipeline has been impacted by trends in school disciplinary practices and zero tolerance policies. It is our challenge to dismantle this pipeline and create new pipelines to success for all children.</P>
<P><SPAN>The TeamChild Hack is one of the first-ever hackathons in the country to specifically address the “school-to-prison pipeline”. It’s a historic and collaborative event where affected youth, law students, lawyers, legal service providers, coders, and designers will create technology-enabled open source solutions to address the numerous challenges faced by underserved teenagers who cannot afford a lawyer and legal services. The goal of the hackathon is to improve the delivery of services and help students obtain the services that can mean the difference between graduation and incarceration.</SPAN></P>
