From Consequences to Connection: Reimagining In-School Suspension with Restorative Practices
Description
In this episode of the It's Been SAId podcast, Dr. Lisa Remy talks with three leaders from Danville Community Schools.
“From Consequences to Connection,” shines a light on how Danville reimagined in-school suspension—not as a place for punishment, but as an opportunity for growth.
The conversation covers what it takes to move from a traditional discipline model to one centered on restorative practices, social-emotional learning, and authentic accountability. Pat Wallace, Danville Superintendent, Jaci Thornburg, JH/HS Principal, and Liz Long, Curriculum Director and Dean of Students have led this shift in their own district and have seen powerful results—more than 80% of students who go through the process never return to in-school suspension.
