Thousands of Colorado students are referred to law enforcement each year by principals, teachers and other school staff, and even more students are ticketed or arrested by police.
A bill introduced in the state legislature last month would have dramatically decreased those types of interactions between students and police, springing a leak in what’s known as the school-to-prison pipeline.

On Tuesday, the day before the bill was scheduled for a first hearing in the legislature, the bill’s sponsors announced they were killing the legislation.
