Season 5 of The Wire.
AS long as the kid shows up one day in September and one day in October, then the school gets full funding for that kid the rest of the school year.
The vice principle hires a couple of guys in van to round up kids on the list to make sure they each get their “September day”. All the truant kids are in on the scam too.

That show absolutely hauled rear. If I had the time, I would sign up for HBO Max and go into a coma watching that show again.

Since Covid, school districts in SC are allowed to count students for funding as long as they remain on the roster of the school. There are students who have not attended school since March 2020 still on the rolls- and the districts are still getting the funding for them. Traditionally, the law stipulates if a student misses more than 10 consecutive days they are to be dropped from the attendance rolls.
