    Nearly 84% of Detroit District High Schoolers Were Paid for Attendance This Year

    Nearly 84% of Detroit district high schoolers received $100 Visa gift cards for perfect attendance in five-day cycles from January 5 to March 20, with 12,800 students earning up to $1,000 total. Chronic absenteeism for high schoolers dropped by 10 percentage points to 54% by April 2025 compared to 64% in 2023-24, attributed to the attendance incentive program.
