Hello School Partner,
This holiday season brings us great joy to share with you a recent announcement from the Los Angeles Unified Board of Education. On November 19, 2024, LAUSD officials announced Fifth Sun Pictures as a bench contractor for evidence-based school enrollment and marketing strategies.
This announcement comes at a pressing time when districtwide enrollment continues to decrease at an average rate of 3%.
Our team of first-generation Americans, alumni of LAUSD, and fellow community members understand how crucial enrollment is to ensuring your school has an adequate amount of funding to support students, high-quality academic programs, extracurricular activities, school supplies, support staff, and overall a positive school learning environment.
As a sneak peak, our approved bench contract services are to deliver a comprehensive enrollment machine that tells the story of your school through film production. And utilizes short-form video ads that track exactly how many students are interested, applied to, and ultimately enrolled in your school as part of our joint recruitment efforts.
From December 3, 2024 to November 30, 2027, your school and all interested LAUSD schools will have access to one of the leading teams for solving the enrollment crisis. Bringing together cost-effective enrollment solutions that accommodate for schools of all sizes, competing school priorities, and most importantly the need to deliver results as soon as possible.
Finally, as part of this initiative, LAUSD is allocating $4 million while establishing an efficient purchasing process to ensure that bench contractors like Fifth Sun Pictures can support your school when you need it.
More information soon including how your school may be eligible to access the enrollment project funds managed by the Strategic Enrollment and Program Planning Office (SEPPO).
Please be advised that SEPPO funds are limited and will be allocated to schools with the highest enrollment need. In either case, as you finalize your school budget in January 2025 we welcome you to request information about how to install a cost-effective school enrollment machine in partnership with Fifth Sun Pictures.
Happy Holidays,
Marco Vargas
Chief Executive Officer
