Both institutions must assign a dedicated point-of-contact to the program
Ivon

19. MUSD Perspectives
Selection of students most academically prepared in initial stages
Build skills and knowledge to include desired populations
Promote program in AVID classrooms and parent meetings, parent education classes
Communication to community: press releases, website, etc.
Hire district teachers who have a master’s degree in a specific area (not education)

Each student saves approximately $70,000 in UC costs
Each graduating cohort saves approximately $2.1 million dollars
