Marshall’s vision for how humans should work together to ensure all children and youth are included and benefit from their education built the foundation for what DS is today. He also launched the National Center for Dispute Resolution (CADRE) where he helped shape policies and systems across the country for 17 years. His work directly impacted generations of youth and families and continues to do so even now. Not only did he shape the work, Marshall cultivated people and was a mentor to many.
