1001.02 - News Media Relations

The Board recognizes the value of and supports open, fair and honest communication with the news media.  The Board and the District will maintain a cooperative relationship with the news media.  As part of this cooperative relationship, the Board, the District, and the media will develop a means for sharing information while respecting each party’s limitations.

Members of the news media are encouraged and welcome to attend open Board meetings.  The Board President is the spokesperson for the Board, and the Superintendent is the spokesperson for the District.  It is the responsibility of the Board President and the Superintendent to respond to inquiries from the news media about the District.

Members of the news media seeking information about the school district will direct their inquiries to the Superintendent.  The Superintendent will accurately and objectively provide information responsive to any inquiries from the news media to the extent permitted under law and as appropriate, given the circumstances surrounding the request.
