[T]his book provides an important and intimate account of the STPP for students with disabilities, capitalizing on personal experiences and incorporating student voices. Using the NYC public school system as an example, Vernikoff clearly establishes that a better understanding of how schools contribute to the STPP will help policy makers and educators engage in continued efforts to block the pipeline and support more equitable educational outcomes for all.
