ACLU report questions police presence in schools, says programs fuel ‘school to prison’ pipeline

In one case, police were called over elementary school-age brothers yelling and cursing at each other.

In another, a school employee referred a student for stealing a candy bar from her desk.

A third involved a middle school student caught writing on her desk.

The ACLU of Nebraska cited these and other cases in a new report questioning how school police programs operate in Nebraska. The report, released Thursday, says the programs fuel a “school to prison” pipeline and disproportionately affect students of color and students with disabilities.
