The DPS and the Detroit Department of Public Health co-sponsored the project.
State law requires that students have proof of immunizations before being admitted for classes.
Each year thousands of first-time DPS students are not able to start school on time because they have not been immunized. The partnership program helped simplify the school registration process for new students. Parents and guardians also could enroll children in the school lunch program and sign them up for health insurance. Howard Normile, associate chairman of the physician assistant studies department and coordinator for the project, said the participating organizations were pleased with the turnout. But attendance grew each day.
