The first area of focus is attracting more families of <br />childbearing age to live in the district. The second area of focus is to retain the students <br />we already have living in the district by meeting their needs. The approach involves <br />providing housing, tailoring school programs to meet students' needs, and marketing this <br />information to the families. <br /> <br />Recommendations: <br />Housing <br />a. Partner with the local cities to support and develop affordable multi-age housing. <br />b. <br />Retaining Students <br />a. Create more aggressive recruiting programs to attract staff who mirror the ethnic . <br />background of the district's population (e.g., Hmong, Hispanic, and Asian teachers <br />and support staff.) <br /> <br />b. Increase the marketing of district programs especially at the transition years of <br />Kindergarten, grade 7 and grade 9. <br /> <br />c. More aggressively track student turnover and devise strategies to decrease the <br />migration of students to other districts and schooling alternatives. <br /> <br />^^^ <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />May 1, 2002 <br /> <br />2 <br />
