Philadelphia youth who enter the juvenile justice system often attend school at multiple facilities while incarcerated. When they return home, they need to reenroll in school and get back on track…
The transition from incarceration to graduation presents significant challenges for formerly incarcerated students in Philadelphia. Despite a 2022 state law aimed at supporting their return to school, obtaining credit for coursework completed while incarcerated remains a hurdle. To address these issues, Chalkbeat Philadelphia will host a virtual discussion on Monday, Oct.
26. Host Sammy Caiola, who covers gun violence in Philadelphia schools, will bring together youth advocates and others involved in the reentry process. The event invites anyone with a personal connection to incarceration, educators of justice-involved students, or those interested in potential solutions. Act 1 resources, including guides and webinars, are available for those seeking further information.
Registration is required, and interested individuals can submit questions for the panel ahead of time.
