GoKid App Tackles Attendance Crisis | Detroit News

Description

Ferndale Public Schools is launching GoKid, a secure, school-run carpool app to tackle the crushing problem of student absenteeism at University High—where 80.5% of students missed school last year, nearly triple the state average. Designed to connect families for shared rides, the app aims to remove transportation barriers, especially for students traveling farther to this choice school, where buses are full. Superintendent Camille Hibbler says it’s one step in removing obstacles to learning—and the app launches before the new school year to help families get kids to class, boost attendance, and build community.
