Discussion on declining enrollment:

  • What educational experience can our school uniquely provide that families cannot easily find elsewhere?
  • How can we attract students and families back to our school?

Magnet school: Be a school that “attracts” students that would fit in with the specific “type” of school we provide

  • ie: Hillcrest is a magnet school for 2nd language learning

Give survey to all families/parents in our boundaries

Biggest idea/thought: Outdoor learning

  • Utah State has a program on how to get agriculture in schools: Free lessons, books, experiments, etc (Tiffany has info) Ag in the Classroom
  • Stewart/Stokes Nature
  • Grizzly Pines Outdoor Learning Center
  • First Dam
  • Bonneville Shoreline
  • Ties in with STEM also, could make both Outdoor Learning and STEM ideas come to life
  • Working hard at some task makes them feel more competent and successful
  • “What do your parents do”--bring in community members to show, talk, and include their trades and jobs in our schools
  • Not “we are the only ones that do this”, but “We are the BEST ones who do this”
  • Potential to open enrollment and cap students in each class, ie 25 students per class. If more, we do a lottery system

Motion to end, approved unanimously
