Birmingham city hall and school officials gave a local parent $450 Thursday because her children attended school every day for a month. Juanesa Johnson said she is a “firm believer” in getting her two children, Ja’Licia, 7, and Ja’Marion, 13, to school. As Birmingham launches a new anti-absenteeism initiative, it wants more parents to follow the Johnson family’s example – and is offering money to one family a month that does.
