About this ebook
Yvette Halloway teaches adults who come to class after work, after daycare pickup, and after long rides across Fresno. Her Room 214 is one place where a difficult day can still lead somewhere.
Then Lucinda Rios is locked out. The attendance system says she was present in two rooms at once, even though Yvette watched her sign in and take her usual seat by the window. When the same errors begin landing on students who need translation, flexible schedules, or help navigating school forms, Yvette stops treating the problem as a glitch.
Paper sign-ins, transit records, classroom keys, and late-night data changes begin to tell a different story. Someone is using attendance rules to erase the people who make the program look inconvenient on a report. To stop it, Yvette must bring the class itself into public view and ask a question the district has spent years avoiding: who gets to count as present?
