Go to school, win a new car

SANTA ANA – One student with perfect attendance in Santa Ana Unified will win a new car Saturday as part of an incentive program to discourage absenteeism.

...

Students from the district's nine high schools with perfect attendance from the first day of classes in the fall through the end of May are eligible. Officials will randomly select one student from that group on Saturday during a drawing at the dealership.

[Whoa... gotta love the odds:]

About 300 students are eligible.

...

Well, that's pretty cool. Way to create a good rapport with the locals... "well, this guys is giving cars away to support our school system, why not support him by buying a car from him". IMO that's a good investment.
