15. IMPACT STATEMENT LESSONS LEARNED
New Orleans School-Justice Partnership realizes that if biases against certain of our kids by police, juvenile justice systems, or prejudice attitudes toward school cultures are not confronted – awareness of implicit bias will do little to prevent racial bias in policing – especially in school settings.

16. WHEN DID MAKING ADULTS BECOME A CRIME?

17. P.A.S.S. GOALS
The goal of P.A.S.S. is to reduce the number of youth being arrested while attending school by addressing offenses that occur in schools without the youth being introduced to the juvenile/criminal justice system. The goal is to also assist students and their families with identifying resources to prevent youth from entering into the juvenile justice system.

18. P.A.S.S. Overall Expectations
Reduce the number of school-based arrests, suspensions, and expulsions
Increase community safety through restorative justice approaches
Decrease number of youth referred to juvenile court for school-based
offenses
