The school board on Tuesday discussed moves such as developing a strategy to increase enrollment, which currently stands at 665,000 as compared to a peak of 747,000 in 2002.

School board member Steve Zimmer says the district should expand special programs such as foreign language immersion and international baccalaureate that have waiting lists as a way to attract pupils.
