The Detroit Public Schools Community District has a new incentive to draw high school students to class.
Teens with perfect attendance are being paid $200 every other week to combat absenteeism which is a huge problem.

“I think people are thinking ‘Oh we’re trying to pay students to come to school and that’s not the case,” said Dr. Tonya Norwood.
