Jabari Parker recently hosted an attendance summit for students and parents in Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) at James Madison Academic campus. Parker joined MPS Superintendent Dr. Darienne Driver to announce a new incentive program where Jabari will provide 40-60 tickets to every remaining Bucks home game for students with perfect attendance.
The attendance summit is the latest in a series of family roundtables hosted by Dr. Driver. The focus on attendance at this roundtable is tied to the district’s overall effort to improve attendance. Efforts include the launch of the “Be in School” campaign with Jabari and the Bucks, the creation of attendance liaison positions and an October gathering of students to hear their ideas on effective strategies to improve attendance.
