    • BLCS is looking to improve its external marketing in order to recruit top talent (especially teaching talent) to the school. We are looking for a marketing strategy and implementation road map to support these recruitment efforts (considering both current channels as well as new channels). Note that we also think that improved marketing could have other flow-on benefits such as helping to build support for the school from community leaders and elected representatives.
