Respectfully Submitted,

- Have to be intentional about this (Job Fairs are not that productive); target Universities/Professors/Guidance Counselors to meet; Not easy but important to build relationships with potential teachers
- Reach out to multi-cultural groups on Education in Universities for recruiting teachers instead of going directly to colleges to hire
- Use Board's network in assisting with recruitment of teachers
- Must have realistic expectation of what a school can do in terms of recruitment; referrals best way to get good teachers; Maybe have a Director (part time?) to help with recruitment based on school's resources (topic for further discussion in upcoming Retreat)
- Have partnership with 2 universities to start with? Have a strategic approach
