If they can't do an open house due to staff or building availability they should allow for small group tours during the school day.
Who will supervise groups of prospective students during these school day tours? Staff from Central office?/s
Seriously, though. Having even small groups of prospective students would require scheduling fails tours for weeks in order to offer everyone a slot. Aside from lacking the staffing for such an approach, it would be a big distraction for current TPMS magnet students
Agree, which is why they need to hold an evening in-person open house.
