CLUSTER continues to support the teachers, administrators, school counselors and social workers from Irvington Union Free School as they bring Restorative Practices into their school system. Through implementation, CLUSTER trains these practitioners to utilize these skills with students. According to a 2022 state-by-state analysis, studies indicate that school- based Restorative Justice improves school climate and connectedness, promotes student health and wellbeing, lowers rates of punitive actions, and reduces racial disparities in school discipline.
