Solutions Not Suspensions

Solutions Not Suspensions (SNS) is a Minnesota-based coalition working to end racial disparities in school discipline and promote safe, supportive learning environments for all students. 

We advocate for policies that replace exclusionary practices, like suspensions, expulsions, and school policing—with community-driven, restorative solutions. 

Your support helps us uplift youth and families most impacted by punitive discipline, train educators on equitable practices, and push for statewide change that keeps students in classrooms, not courtrooms. Together, we can build a future where every child is treated with dignity and has access to a quality education, free from criminalization and bias.

Join us! Your donation helps us expand our policy advocacy, youth leadership programs, and community engagement efforts across Minnesota to make sure we disrupt and dismantle discriminatory practices in MN Schools.
