Camden Pays Students $100 Each to Not Skip School
Anti-truancy program pays Camden high school students to go to school
The city of Camden will be paying almost 70 high school students $100 each to go to school in the first three weeks of the year.
Funded by a grant that must be used by Sept. 30, the city is trying to fight truancy with a new program called I Can End Truancy (ICE-T), reports the Inquirer.
To receive the promised $100, each of the 66 targeted students must attend classes as well as conflict-resolution and anger-management workshops until Sept. 30.
Not everyone was happy about the pay-off program at Tuesday nights school board meeting, according to the Inquirer. Board member Sean Brown voiced his anger that he just learned of the truancy program.
Former board member Jose Delgado said that it was outrageous and it sends the wrong message to kids, reports the Inquirer.
