Peer Jury Programs

Peer Jury Programs involve students or peers participating as decision-makers in addressing disciplinary issues within schools. Instead of traditional punishment, the group reviews cases, discusses the incident, and recommends appropriate consequences or reparative actions. This approach promotes accountability, responsibility, and understanding among students, encouraging them to learn from mistakes and develop good decision-making skills. It also fosters a sense of community and shared ownership of behavioral standards, helping create a safer and more respectful school environment.
