We are still operating under our 9-12 grade Charter Agreement. We need a marketing committee. What can board members do? Utilize the Schola Lead Sheet (86 names) Clean the sheet. Merge the four duplicates, flag 8th vs. 9th-11th, add columns for 'student name,' 'last contacted,' and 'next step,' Email #1 to the full list. The subject line could be 'You asked about Azure Fields. Here's what's next.' Include a one-paragraph vision and intent to enroll form.
