SmartPass digital hall pass system in NYC schools tracks student movement and time outside class, aiming to improve safety and accountability.
Over a dozen teenagers gathered in the fenced-off courtyard of Harlem's Peace Cafe on a Thursday evening after school. As the young men warmed up with jumping jacks and sit-ups, Josh Marte, their youth mentor, hung up the punching bag and laid out Everlast boxing gloves over a banner that read, "I AM PEACE." The lesson wasn't only about self-defense: Marte talked to the group about regulating emotions, building a brotherhood, and de-escalating violence in their neighborhood.
