Saranac, Lowell school officials work to stem tide of student transfers

Saranac, Lowell school officials work to stem tide of student transfers
"Superintendent Jeanette Adams wants to stop the trend of students who live along Saranac's border with Lowell choosing to enroll in the Kent County district.
But how to do that without drawing lines in the schools-of-choice sand?
'We don't want to coerce people to come here,' Adams said of her Ionia County district.
'For many families, it's not always about what's better, but what's closer.'"

Maybe they ought to focus more on "attracting" rather than "coercing"?
Like providing a quality education......
