  • 2023-2024 Enrollment Numbers 

Question:  

Committee Member Palacio:  Would it be possible to have a breakdown of the demographics at each school to know how many students and how many are traditional students?

Recruitment Efforts Underway

School based execution of recruitment plans

  • Weekly Thursday regional recruitment meetings
  • Continued promotion of Refer-A-Family Referral Campaign
  • Rolling Recruitment Rallies (May 13, May 20, June 3)
  • Paid Social Media Marketing Partnership w/ KIPP Foundation

Question 1:  

Committee Member Sweet:  Rolling Recruitment Rallies, can you give me an example of what that entails?

 

J. Worles:  The rolling recruitment rallies is our opportunity to bring KIPP to the community.  We want to identify areas that aren't already in our universe of families.

 

Question 2:

Committee Member Crutcher:  Will KIPP track the traffic for each of the Rolling Recruitment Rallies?

 

J. Worles:  Chief Collins and I are building out a strategic plan which is a key benchmark that is evaluating our strategies and tactics from the prior year so we can refine what our plan is for next year.
