When Doug and Catherine Snodgrass shared the story of their autistic son's arrest for drug sale charges this past February, they put a face to the very real problems perpetuated by zero tolerance policies in schools.



On September 12th, the parents joined four experts in a teleconference on improving drug education hosted by the Drug Policy Alliance (DPA) to once again share their story and promote DPA’s reform work. On the heels of the new school year, DPA aimed to raise awareness about the failure of zero tolerance policies and offer students, parents, and teachers tools for bringing reality-based drug education to their schools.
