Overview
•
Beginning in fall 2012, NYC youth who in the past were
placed in OCFS non-secure facilities outside of NYC were
placed in residences within the city as part of the
Close to Home (C2H) Initiative.
•
Most C2H students received services at Passages Academy,
a DOE District 79 program serving students in 8 sites.
•
•
While at Passages the C2H students were able to stay within
the NYC Public School System and continue learning and
progressing in school.
To contextualize, data for NSP students are compared to data
for students in Non-Secure Detention (NSD) and Secure
Detention (SD).
•
Students who were enrolled in more than one classification type during the school year
were assigned to their most recent classification in the comparative analysis (all analysis
with the exception of enrollment).
•
Total NSP enrollment during 2012-13 school year: N=302

Notes: Prior attendance is measured for the most recent term of enrollment (in which the students were enrolled 10 or more
days) during the 2011-12 school year. Students are classified as “No DOE school at enrollment” if they were not enrolled in
another DOE school at the time of their enrollment at Passages Academy.

Notes: Prior-attendance is only reported for students with post-Passages attendance data. Prior-attendance is measured for the
most recent term of enrollment (in which the students were enrolled 10 or more days) during the 2011-12 school year.
Post-attendance is measured for up to 60 instructional days following Passages enrollment. Only students with at least 10 days
of post-Passages enrollment were included in the calculations. Post-attendance is measured up until 6/26/13.
