We would like for the layout for the site to be similar to safequalityschools.org—the school-to-prison pipeline website for the non-profit, The Advancement Project---and are relying on that basic design for the description below. Texas Appleseed has content for most sections. The following is a sketch of the types of materials that will appear on each page. Yamanda will cover the data/map piece in a separate description/in person at Tuesday's meeting.
