[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why increase advertising if you don’t clear your waitlist? It’s not like lottery results are ordered by academic prowess…[/quote]

Charter schools get accused of not doing to outreach to or enrolling at risk kids or those from outside W2/3/6. Now comes a school trying to raise awareness and DCUM has a problem with it? Puhleeze.[/quote]

If the advertisements are on routes East of the River I would be all for bus advertising. (Current BASIS parent) [/quote]

I’m not. Seems like a waste of money. And with BASIS leaning so heavily on parents for funding, I’m not happy that they’re spending money on advertising. Especially bus advertising which is probably not particularly effective. [/quote]

So, to summarize, you don't actually know the efficacy of bus ads but you are certain they aren't particularly effective. You don't have any ideas for alternatives to outreach to underrepresented groups. In fact you don't want them doing any outreach at all (outreach-marketing). You also conflate fundraising with marketing and community outreach. Well then...

P.S. You don't have to donate. You do this by "not donating". I bet you are one of those people who is up in arms about Costco asking you if you want to upgrade to the Executive Membership. The thought of having to say "no thank you" is just so stressful.[/quote]
