It is important to understand the contexts which lead to alternative education programming. The ways in which problem behavior is defined detrimentally impacts ethnically and racially minoritized populations and students with disabilities.

This article is a part of the NASP Social Justice Committee's series on alternative education as a social justice issue (Parris, 2022). In this article, the authors explore how school psychologists and other school based professionals can reflect on and disrupt practices that disproportionately impact educational trajectories for students, specifically in relation to alternative placements.
