Detroit Public Schools Community District (DPSCD) is offering students cash prizes and gift cards for perfect attendance during the winter months. High school students can earn up to $1,000, while middle school students' parents receive $50 gift cards. The program aims to reduce chronic absenteeism, which was 60.9% in the 2024-25 school year. The incentives are funded through interest generated from district funds, not taxpayers or state educational aid.
