LinkLinksOpinion Nathan Luecking in The Post: At-risk kids are getting lost in D.C.’s school system By Editor On Apr 9, 2021 Last updated Apr 9, 2021 109 Share There are many students who crowd my memories of the years I’ve served as a social worker in D.C.’s public schools; none more so than one former student of mine. He came to Anacostia High School after a traumatic situation at his previous school that led to behavioral issues. I was able to strike a rapport with him and began the process of enrolling him in services. However, his family was forced to move out of the Anacostia boundary and he was unenrolled before I was able to connect with his mother for consent. I could not even access basic information to contact them and make sure he had what he needed to stay on track at a new school. It wasn’t too long before I learned of the student’s death from gun violence. 109 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
