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
