Young people in juvenile detention, placement, and adult jails need intensive, targeted educational services and therapeutic interventions. Ensuring strong educational programming in court-ordered settings is essential, not only for rehabilitation while in custody, but also for successful reintegration into the community. Our testimony highlights findings from our new report, Reconectando con la Oportunidad: Avanzando la Equidad Educativa para Estudiantes Involucrados con el Sistema Judicial, and calls on the City to take several critical steps to better support students—before they enter detention or placement, while enrolled in Passages Academy, and as they return to their school communities.
