Increasing Enrollment It only takes a few people to cut the budget. It takes everyone to increase enrollment and keep students in our schools.

 No immediate response from admin.  No immediate solution to their concern  Teaching methods they don’t approve of  Approach by staff members  Language barrier  Lack of respect & trust  Feeling of inadequacy towards school personnel

 Low state exams scores  Safety: Bullying  Weak discipline management system  Lack of highly effective teachers  Lack of communication  Relationships

 Interactions  Respect  Staff- Parent Rapport  Trust  Communication

 Stop using Jargon that parents may not be familiar with  Visit parents (home visits, “Las Platicas”, community center held meetings)  Take complaints as a way to make the school better  Parent friendly principals – listen & speak to them, treat them with respect & dignity (as you would want to be treated)  Be available
