PUBLIC  INFORMATION 
AND  COMMUNICATIONS

The Superintendent has the responsibility of keeping the public informed as to the purpose, goals, methods, and progress of the educational program.  Accuracy, reliability, and leadership in this area will develop confidence and understanding, creating better relationships between the District and the community.  All school personnel are responsible for good public relations.

All written notices, bulletins, newsletters, and matters pertaining to students are to be approved prior to release.  Matters that pertain to an individual school are to be approved by the principal prior to release.  Matters that pertain to the District are to be submitted for approval to the Superintendent prior to release.

Non-school-originated material of a commercial, political, or religious nature shall not be released through the students.

This policy is not intended to interfere with the responsibility of District personnel to communicate directly with the parents or legal guardians of a particular student in areas affecting that student's progress at school.  It is intended to ensure that prompt, reliable, and accurate information is released to the parents and patrons of the District.
