City leaders commit to critical problem solutions

CLOUT, the Citizens of Louisville Organized and United Together asked city leaders like JCPS Superintendent Dr. Marty Pollio to commit to putting restorative practices in 10 more schools by the 2019-20 school year.

“Versus suspending kids, finding other ways and other means of disciplining them and making sure that they can stay in school and remain in school and get the education that they need and the support that they need,” CLOUT’s Co-President, Reverend Reginald Barnes, explained.

CLOUT also asked Metro Council members to add $10-million to the city budget for affordable housing, to help the thousands of families afford their rent or mortgage.
