The photograph accompanying the article in the Feb. 24, 2016, edition of the Detroit Legal News titled “Judge’s program promotes keeping kids in school” was not of Judge Frank S. Szymanski. The photograph was of Judge David Szymanski.

The Wayne County Keeping Kids in School mission will join Dearborn Heights’ School Board meeting to acknowledge the forward thinking of Principal John Tafelski of Crestwood High School and his efforts to keep his students in the classroom.

The costs of school suspensions are excessive and some school districts are evaluating their policies regarding suspensions, expulsions, and truancy. Wayne County can no longer afford to suspend students for truancy or minor infractions because the students are needed in school, not out of school.

Judge Frank S. Szymanski believes that children are “our greatest assets.” He applauds the answers to discipline issues that don’t involve suspensions. Restorative practices in which students and staff address issues in a spirit of mutual respect have been successful in repairing harm and improving relationships and empowering students by teaching them to address issues face to face.
