Buffalo high schools are taking a bold step to tackle chronic absenteeism: students who show up nearly every day can now win cash prizes. With some schools seeing over half their students missing too many days, the district’s new attendance lottery—offering up to $500 a month—aims to motivate teens to come to class. It’s a creative move that’s got people talking: Will money really get students back in their seats, or is it just a short-term fix? Curious to hear what everyone thinks—would this work in your family or school? #News #BuffaloSchools #StudentAttendance
