Residents urge better advertising, website updates and paper communications to attract families
Summary
Residents asked the district to improve outreach—more advertising, better website content, paper mailings and afterschool programs—to make district offerings clearer to current and prospective families.
Community members suggested a range of low-cost outreach steps to help retain and recruit families: more advertising of district events and offerings (fliers, mailings, bank and legion signs, advertisements in neighboring communities), and clearer, regularly updated website information including board minutes, policies, events, photos and curriculum listings.
Several residents also urged the district to offer alternative communication channels for families who do not use parent-square or other digital platforms, recommending paper communications and phone calls; building afterschool programming was also recommended as a way to support working families and strengthen retention.
