Early morning truancy alarm at McArthur High
Broward County McArthur High used an $8,000 automated calling system to alert parents of unexcused absences. A misprogrammed schedule rang from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m., prompting calls that angered parents yet spurred students to return to class. Principal David Hogg noted about 100 calls were made before correcting the timing, and the mix up proved surprisingly effective as truants began to come back this week.
