The Restorative Justice Research Community (RJRC) was launched in 2022 to support and advance research on restorative justice and addressing inequities in the context of the US criminal legal system. RJRC projects are developed using an emergent approach, grounded in the needs of the field. One of the projects advanced by the RJRC includes a cohort of academic research fellows. The fellows project was developed in response to an identified need for academic researchers to build relationships with each other, and with their local communities.

This learning community will assist school leaders in creating and strengthening a site crisis navigation team and engage participants in meaningful peer-to-peer learning. Participants will share successes and barriers and discuss the implementation and expansion of trauma-informed, resilience-oriented school crisis navigation.

At the time of a crisis, it is challenging for schools to organize an effective crisis navigation response and still maintain the required long-range perspective and day-to-day operations.

The grantee site inquired if IACP had any example no-cost extensions. IACP did not have any examples to share, but provided guidance on developing and submitting a no-cost extension.

The site contacted the IACP to request a meeting to discuss feedback on the Action Plan. IACP held the meeting on 6/2/23.
