$47,918 spent. PARENT ENGAGEMENT: ENROLL OKC LAUNCHED IN FALL 2024 AND PROVIDED TWO SERVICES FOR FAMILIES. FIRST, IT PROVIDED A SINGLE PORTAL WHERE FAMILIES COULD LEARN ABOUT ALL PUBLIC SCHOOL OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO THEM IN OKC. PRIOR TO THE LAUNCH OF ENROLL OKC, FAMILIES HAD TO LEARN ABOUT THIS THROUGH THEIR OWN MEANS. ADDITIONALLY, ENROLL OKC WORKED WITH CHARTER AND DISTRICT ENTERPRISE SCHOOLS TO SHARE A COMMON APPLICATION DATE AND PROCESS TIMELINE. PRIOR TO ENROLL OKC, EVERY SCHOOL HAD THEIR OWN PRIORITY APPLICATION DEADLINE AND PROCESS AND THIS MADE MAKING AN INFORMED CHOICE VERY DIFFICULT FOR FAMILIES AS THE TIMELINES VARIED SIGNIFICANTLY.
