Enrollment
The Paramount board and leadership team want to encourage principals to take ownership of their enrollment goals each year. Moving forward, principals will give an update on enrollment during each month’s board meeting. The update will include enrollment data, needs, challenges, and comments from each school’s leader. The board feels this is important to cover for the financial health of the organization and to be able to help provide resources to help principals meet enrollment goals.
