Hayward Police Department Seeks Mural Artist for HAYWARD ATTENDANCE PROJECT
PROJECT: Cesar Chavez Middle School
The goal of the Hayward Attendance Project (HAP) is to develop a plan to reduce chronic absenteeism in the Tennyson High School pattern of schools within the Hayward unified School District. We are seeking a mural which promotes the importance of school attendance coupled with the unique/diversified Hayward community as a backdrop. Consistent school attendance beginning when a child first enters school has a direct impact on whether that student will complete high school or become involved in the juvenile justice system.

ART INSTALLATION: Cesar Chavez Middle School
COMPLETION DATE: FEBRUARY 2017 (weather permitting)
FUNDING: $13,000 all projects require anti-graffiti coating up to two applications
