2010 Nehemiah Action

Commitments on Truancy and Land Bank

2,600 members of BREAD congregations showed up at BREAD's Annual Nehemiah Action. State Representatives committed to work to close Payday Lending loopholes. City and County officials agreed to study and plan for the implementation of an "active" land bank (CLRC). Columbus Schools Superintendent Gene Harris agreed to end the practice of suspending students out of school for truancy, work with the organization to identify ways to reduce the number of out of school suspensions, and look at ways to fund the expansion of Project KEY (a proven truancy reduction program).
