Help families find additional income

It is not unusual for a school to not have enough tuition aid money to help all families to the extent that they need help. (What does that mean? You're going to run out of free money and some families won't be able to fill the gap!)

Many schools have addressed this problem by reserving part time employment opportunities within the school for applicant families. At least give them a hiring priority.

There are numerous jobs that could be reserved for these families, such as: housekeeping, teacher's aid, maintenance, kitchen, bus driver, special school projects, or special maintenance projects.

Schools can also minister to these families by developing a system for keeping tabs on part time employment opportunities within the community.

There are many ways to do this. One suggestion is to ask either your church families or your school families to complete a form that tells you about opportunities they are aware of, along with a contact person and phone number. You will need to be diligent in keeping these up to date. Ask for these referrals on a regular basis.

Post these on your website for any family needing a little extra income to view.

Wouldn't it be great if your school became "job search central" for the Christians in your community? What would that say about the character of your school? What would that do to help market your school?
