Use Rewards to Boost Student Attendance (And Public Goodwill).
VanSciver, James
Executive Educator, v8 n6 p22-23 Jun 1986
Describes a low-cost experiment to reinforce good student attendance and abandon the punitive approach of lowering grades and suspending chronic absentees. The Pocomoke High School program (Maryland) rewards students for superior attendance with certificates, press releases, congratulatory letters, positive phone calls to parents, and homeroom tee-shirt contests.
