I & R Process
Identification & Recruitment
In order to recruit all the qualifying migrant families in our district I use several strategies.
- Post flyers
- Make home visits
- Remind families during Pac meetings to let me know if any new families have moved into the district
Linda Nanez, I&R Director will go out and visit with new families at their residence when, by word of mouth, a migrant family is identified to the district.
