I want my kids to grow up in a diverse school with people from all walks of life. I believe that is one of the cornerstones of a public education. If our schools are not diverse, we should use recruitment strategies to ensure our schools are diverse so that students can work alongside students of varying backgrounds.

Collectively it is advantageous for both staff and students to participate in recruitment activities. They know the school climate and offerings best.

Recruitment can be vital to attracting students who align with or can benefit from our school's focus. This aligns the student body with the school's resources and goals. It can also can strengthen school-community ties by involving families and showcasing programs.

Community Engagement and Inclusivity

I think staff should engage in recruitment. It's a great way to meet and engage with the community to build partnerships and bring communities together. I also think it's a great way to build equity and inclusiveness in communities.
