Pa.’s Act 1 guarantees help for formerly incarcerated students. Some say it’s falling short.

This story was originally published by Chalkbeat. Nobody was looking out for Aqilah David when she came home from incarceration. At least that’s how it felt when she returned to her Philadelphia high school in 2018, after several months in a juvenile facility. The school’s administrators had marked her absent for much of the time she’d been away. Even though she’d taken classes while incarcerated, she had to fight to prove she had. She ended up graduating late.

"We'll help to navigate through some of that stuff. If it's decided that either seeing a counselor outside of our organization or doing some other things to assist with any mental health issues that come up, that's what we're going to do," DeAntonio explained. The report noted Act 1 , passed in 2022 to support students experiencing homelessness, foster care or involvement in the juvenile justice system, has been effective in allowing such private providers to support students. DeAntonio pointed out businesses and companies in Pennsylvania can
