Board emphasizes recruitment as online program reaches capacity
Summary
With the AOI online program full for summer and in‑person sites seeking students, board members and principals outlined outreach plans including counselor contacts, signage, social media and word‑of‑mouth to boost enrollment for 2026‑27.
Board leaders and school principals discussed recruitment plans for the 2026‑27 academic year after seeing full summer online enrollment and steady graduate numbers.
"The online program was full," Chief Education Officer Dave Dirksen said, framing recruitment as a priority that would rely on student‑to‑student and parent‑to‑parent outreach plus multiple social media platforms. Les Hauer described efforts at Ponderosa High School — counselor outreach producing about two pre‑enrollment interviews per week and plans for public sign locations and printed signage — while Principal Traci Parker said Tse' Yaato' leans on Page Unified counselors, social media, and replacing fence and corner enrollment signs before school begins.
President Mango‑Paget asked for recruitment status updates in summer board reports so the district could track enrollment trends going into FY27.
