5. Recognize Fairway
Advertising for Donating Billboards for Truancy Hotline
5
min.
On November 28, Sheriff Worth Hill announced to the Board of
County Commissioners the implementation of the “Truancy Hotline”, a program
that seeks the public’s assistance in reporting children that should be
attending school. Durham Public Schools has placed special emphasis on
attendance and works collaboratively with two full-time deputies assigned to
investigate and enforce violations of the Compulsory School Attendance Law.
Fairway Advertising has played an invaluable role in helping
to get the word out about this new program. In addition to helping to design
the ads for the billboard, Fairway has generously donated two billboards at
gateway entrances to Durham County. A resolution has been prepared expressing
appreciation for Fairway’s efforts.
