Restorative Measures
The Minnesota Department of Education helps schools develop programming, curricula and intervention practices to create safe schools by teaching social skills, building positive school climate and repairing harm when it happens. Restorative measures are discipline interventions to hold students accountable for harm and address the needs of students or staff harmed and the school community.
