  1. Looks like a great program, but why in the world would they offer it during the day? Shouldn't the teens this is targeted towards be in school??!!

  2. I agree with the comment above. That was the first thing that I noticed. With the truancy issues that the CUSD is plagued with, why would Widener offer this during a school day?? Not smart at all!
