About 

CPLI was established in 2013 to reform laws, policies and practices that contribute to the criminalization of children in Indiana. It is one of 53 organizations in 43 states that belongs to the National Juvenile Justice Network (NJJN). The NJJN leads a movement of state-based advocacy groups working toward a fairer youth justice system. 

​Mission Statement: CPLI advocates for systemic changes for children so that programs, policies and practices are developmentally appropriate, equitably administered and fair, and provide the necessary support for a child’s successful transition to adulthood.

CPLI Report

Picture

​The Children’s Policy and Law Initiative of Indiana (CPLI) convened over 90 educators, best practice experts, public policy officials, and key stakeholders in the Leaders Collaborating to Advance Positive School Discipline Summit (“Summit”) in Indianapolis on October 6, 2015. The ensuing report and recommendations are the result of facilitated dialog among summit participants to identify strategies and techniques that contribute to positive school learning environments. The recommendations benefit from growing national momentum toward achieving positive school learning environments for all children.
