This webinar will cover navigating students' rights to education while incarcerated both in secure and non-secure/close-to-home placements within NYC. We will discuss the rights of students with individualized education plans and students who were in general education settings.
Advocates for Children of New York has a singular vision: an equitable and inclusive school system where all students receive the education they need to maximize their potential as adults.
We fight for families
For more than 50 years, we have fought beside NYC families from under-resourced communities through a unique combination of services, all focused on protecting education rights and eliminating barriers to success so all students can thrive.
Thanks to AFC’s help and guidance, as well as Ruben’s efforts, the young man for whom educational success was deemed “unattainable” will be able to be an active contributing member of the work force!
Richard was struggling to finish his last few high school credits and remaining Regents exams to graduate. AFC successfully advocated for tutoring, assistive technology, and testing accommodations that helped Richard cross the finish line and earn his diploma!
