Restorative Justice
MCPS defines Restorative Justice as an approach to building community, self-care, and conflict resolution.
At Montgomery Blair, we are committed to the principles and ideals of finding alternatives to corrective action, specifically, for students of color.
Our staff was trained in facilitating community circles and students experienced community circles in the Fall.
Our Blair SGA is working along with the Diversity and Inclusion Coordinator to make materials and create surveys that allow students to experience restorative activities and practices.
