# Collective Assessments on School Policing

* The school-to-prison pipeline was a delayed response by the state to Black and Brown student organizing.
* School policing is an extension of the laws, policies, and practices of street policing in Black and Brown communities.
* As we began to form a movement to end the school-to-prison pipeline, as we began to win (ending zero-tolerance policies, acquiring suspension and arrest data, securing pilot restorative justice programs and funds) the system adjusted, increasing police presence in schools.
