We need your help to expose the harsh experiences of youth with school police and truancy tickets 

We need your help to expose the consequences of truancy tickets and the often untold harsh experiences our youth face with school police. We are seeking stories from youth and parents who have received truancy tickets and/or had incidents with school police. These stories can be confidential as asked for by the individual. We have trained leaders and organizers ready to conduct interviews and focus groups with parents and youth and we are available to come to your school, community center, church, office, etc. Please contact Lisa if you can help: (213) 387-2800 or lisa@thestrategycenter.org

• Free legal consultation available--call us if you have legal
  questions about your ticket and we will try to connect you to a lawyer
  or someone who can provide you with free legal advice. 

• File your complaint--if you have had an incident with school police, we urge you to file your complaint and let us know so we can track the complaint process. Click here to learn more.  

• Free Community Training available on Know Your Rights on Truancy Tickets--just email us if you are interested in having a training done at your community center, schools, church, etc.
