Information Regarding Toyota of Tampa Bay's "Perfect Car for Perfect Attendance" Contest (Student Services and Federal Programs Division)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Toyota of Tampa Bay approached the Hillsborough County School District with a proposal to sponsor a contest, "Perfect Car for Perfect Attendance," to encourage attendance among seniors for this school year.  This contest will give a brand new car to a senior who has perfect attendance for the second semester.  One winner will be selected, by a random drawing of all eligible contestants.  Students were informed of the contest at the beginning of the spring semester and high school principals were involved in the process to determine the eligibility criteria.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
• Increase promotion rates at all grade levels and the percentage of high school graduates
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  No)
EVALUATION

At the end of each school year, the Supervisor of Attendance will conduct a search of the district’s Student Data Base to determine seniors who qualify for participation in the Toyota giveaway.  That information will be verified by each school and provided to Toyota of Tampa Bay.
