Low-income schools try to beat absenteeism by installing laundry facilities
“A former locker room at West Side High School in Newark, New Jersey has been converted to a laundry room in an effort to improve student attendance during the 2018-19 school year. The principal obtained a $20,000 grant from utility company PSEG for the renovation, and went through Whirlpool’s ‘Care Counts’ program to secure washers and dryers, according to CBS News.”
