Ticketing<\/span><\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Thousands of Illinois students are issued tickets for municipal ordinance violations every year, often resulting in hundreds of dollars in fines and administrative fees. Although the Illinois School Code sought to eliminate fines and fees as a form of school discipline, school administrators still refer students to police who then issue tickets for municipal ordinance violations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most cited causes for these tickets is substance use, but new research on addiction treatment suggests that punitive measures like ticketing for vaping can have a harmful effect on addressing substance use and are \u201clikely to drive youth into a deeper, more secretive addiction.\u201d Not only is student ticketing an ineffective form of discipline, it also disproportionately impacts Black students and forces students to miss class in order to attend hearings that were designed for adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><div id=\"why\"  class=\"wp-block-ultimate-post-heading ultp-block-914cdd\"><div class=\"ultp-block-wrapper\"><div class=\"ultp-heading-wrap ultp-heading-style7 ultp-heading-left\"><h1 class=\"ultp-heading-inner\"><span>Why This Matters<\/span><\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1ppe7U-67TAYQwlkxpHt1lWbqeE8l5Q0j\/preview\" width=\"640\" height=\"220\" allow=\"autoplay\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"text-align: center; margin: 0 auto; width: 100%; max-width: 540px;\"><div style=\"position: relative; width: 100%; height: 0; padding-top: 177.78%; overflow: hidden;   background-color: transparent; background-image: url(\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf8,%3Csvg version='1.1' id='loader-1' xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' xmlns:xlink='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink' x='0px' y='0px' width='40px' height='40px' viewBox='0 0 40 40' enable-background='new 0 0 40 40' xml:space='preserve'%3E%3Cpath opacity='0.2' fill='%23000' d='M20.201,5.169c-8.254,0-14.946,6.692-14.946,14.946c0,8.255,6.692,14.946,14.946,14.946 s14.946-6.691,14.946-14.946C35.146,11.861,28.455,5.169,20.201,5.169z M20.201,31.749c-6.425,0-11.634-5.208-11.634-11.634 c0-6.425,5.209-11.634,11.634-11.634c6.425,0,11.633,5.209,11.633,11.634C31.834,26.541,26.626,31.749,20.201,31.749z'\/%3E%3Cpath fill='%23fff' d='M26.013,10.047l1.654-2.866c-2.198-1.272-4.743-2.012-7.466-2.012h0v3.312h0 C22.32,8.481,24.301,9.057,26.013,10.047z'%3E%3CanimateTransform attributeType='xml' attributeName='transform' type='rotate' from='0 20 20' to='360 20 20' dur='0.75s' repeatCount='indefinite'\/%3E%3C\/path%3E%3C\/svg%3E\"); background-position: center; background-repeat: no-repeat; \"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" allowtransparency=\"true\" width=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" name=\"vocalvideo_158249\" scrolling=\"no\" sandbox=\"allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-popups allow-forms\" src=\"https:\/\/vocalvideo.com\/embed\/v1\/videos\/158249\" title=\"Vocal Video\" height=\"100%\" style=\"background: transparent; position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; z-index: 1;\"><\/iframe><\/div><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"VideoObject\",\"name\":\"Marla Baker for Punitive Discipline and Youth Justice\",\"description\":\"An authentic testimonial video published by Join the movement!
