Lay the groundwork for staff solidarity by creating a process for on-going communication about the school's goals, as well as for orienting new staff during your period of growth. Create program policies and personnel policies that work for the school, not against it. Clearly communicate the school's purpose in effective public meetings. Prepare the way for families and students to make an informed choice regarding enrollment in your school. Establish meaningful criteria for student application and enrollment in the lottery process.
