Key Communicators
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.
About the Program
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, weekly mailings, and personal contact. Please contact your school principal if interested in participating.
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.
- Receive weekly mailings from the Communications Department.
- Facilitate balanced and factual communications
