Faced with static enrollment, officials in the 3,500-student Oak Park Unified School District--one of the top performers in Ventura County--plan to recruit students from outside the district for next fall. Officials expect about 100 openings in the district's three elementary schools. Additional spaces at Oak Park High School may also be available, officials said. The plan is unusual because districts with high test scores typically struggle to keep students out.
