About the Program
The Key Communicator program is one valuable aspect of the school district's ongoing, two-way communications effort with parents and other citizens in the district. The Communications Department coordinates the programs with the assistance of parent volunteer Sharon Goldblatt, who is serving as chairperson.
The Key Communicator concept is a proven public relations tool in use by many school districts across the country. Public relations research supports the fact that the most effective and efficient communication is accomplished on a personal level.
Key Communicators serve as a communications link among the administration, school board, school, parents, staff, students and other district citizens. Key Communicators should meet with their school principal to develop ways to facilitate communications.
Key Communicators are parents who are nominated for one year of service by their school principal. They are kept informed about district news through meetings, periodical mailings, online information and personal contact.
Each school selects three parents to serve as Key Communicators during each given school year. Key Communicators do the following:
- Attend four evening meetings at which time the superintendent and other key staff share information and interact with the group.
- Provide another opportunity for volunteerism as a school representative.
- Represent only one school.
- Host a spring forum open to the public at which School Board candidates speak and respond to written questions from the audience.
- Work on special projects (these vary from year to year but include voter registration, legislative issues, etc.).
- Attend numerous school district events, dedications, receptions, etc.
- Facilitate balanced and factual communications.
