Truancy Diversion Incentives

Six of our eight Lincoln high schools have a Truancy Diversion Program (TDP). The program was created for students and their families as an alternative to traditional court proceedings for truancy. The short-term goals of the program are to improve school attendance, grades and attitude toward school. The long-term goals are for the student to maintain consistent school attendance after completion of the program followed by graduation from high school.

The TDP program includes small incentive gift cards for food or recreational activities that students can earn. Two of our high schools no longer receive outside funding for student incentives so the funds raised here will be used to purchase gift cards for TDP students. You can view the incentive and sanction list  HERE . Thank you for considering! Requesting $1,000 plus cost reimbursement.

Thank you very much for your generous donations to support students who struggle with attendance! The gift card incentives really help to motivate students in the Truancy Diversion Program.
