School Community
Relations
Where do I find assistance?
School Community Relations
Educational public relations is
a planned and systematic
management function to
help improve the programs
and services of an
educational organization.
School Community Relations
It relies on a comprehensive twoway communications process
involving both internal and
external publics, with a goal of
stimulating a better
understanding of the role,
objectives, accomplishments
and needs of the organization.

Why School Public Relations?
This is the media age - school communication
needs have increased dramatically and become
complex. A superintendent needs to develop and
execute communication plans through
print/electronic media and face-to-face
communication.
Why School Public Relations?
Education is under attack - from taxpayers,
business groups and others. A superintendent
must publicize the positive news about
student/staff achievement and programs, and
develop a coordinated, proactive approach.
Why School Public Relations?
The scope of successful school public relations
has expanded greatly - A superintendent needs
to schedule community relations activities, such
as: business orientations, meetings with civic
organizations and clergy, open houses, etc. to
build informed support and solid relationships.
