  6. What’s The Formula? • No certain formula for levy success, but winning campaigns use research-based practices to greater extent and more effectively than unsuccessful ones.

  7. Research-Based Practices • Market Research • Voter Identification • GOTV - Get Out The Vote

  8. Market Research • Study demographics and census data. • Conduct community survey every 3 years to determine what the public values and wants from its schools, whether a levy campaign is looming or not. • Use focus groups and informal meetings. • Conduct a 12-15 minute telephone interview with likely voters 3-6 months before an election.

  9. Voter Identification • Merge voter file with parent file. • Analyze voter characteristics and voting trends. • Conduct post-election analyses.

  10. Get Out The Vote • Establish a personal connection between voters and electoral process • Tailor strategies to age, gender, economic, race, parent, and residence considerations • Identify unregistered parents and encourage voter registration • Face-to-face canvassing • Leafleting – door hangers • Direct mail • Telephone calls and emails
