Background:
|
As part of the Fiscal Year 2016 budget, the Milwaukee Board of School Directors approved the creation of the position of Student Recruitment & Retention Specialist in the Office of the Chief of Staff. The specialist began in January 2016, with full-time efforts beginning in July 2016.
The Student Recruitment & Retention Specialist helps foster cross-office, cross-department and cross-district collaboration to improve the recruitment and retention of students, with a focus on building relationships with families and using data to drive decisions. Key partner departments include the Department of Student Services, which leads the enrollment process; Business, Community & Family Partnerships, which works with families and the community; and the Department of Communications & Outreach, which leads the district’s marketing efforts.
The work of student recruitment and retention is integrated into the district’s strategic planning efforts, under the Board’s goal of Student, Family and Community Engagement.
The attached presentation outlines the efforts in 2016-17: developing a community feedback tool; identifying school communities and developing feeder patterns; and smart recruitment and retention strategies. The presentation also outlines areas of focus for student recruitment and retention in 2017-18, including using the results of the feedback tool to best meet families’ needs and updating enrollment processes in collaboration with the Department of Student Services and other district offices and departments.
