Communications

The School District 308 Communications Department serves as a liaison with the community and all internal and external stakeholders to promote two-way communication and build positive relationships and partnerships.  We strive to keep everyone informed while encouraging active and engaging dialogue between our district, our students, their families, and the community.
 
  • Media Relations and Crisis Communications
  • Community Relations and Partnerships
  • Publications and Event Planning
  • District Website and Social Media
  • Internal and Electronic Communications
We are happy to share information about our outstanding students, faculty and schools, and are here to assist with any media requests, campus access, news stories and/or press releases.  Our communications team highlights people, events, activities and educational programs that promote the mission of CUSD 308.  This information is posted on our homepage under "Latest News," recognizing outstanding achievements by students and staff along with feature articles to highlight school-based and districtwide initiatives.
CUSD 308 strives to be more environmentally friendly, embrace innovative technology and maintain fiscal responsibility through the transition from paper distribution to electronic flyer delivery via Peachjar. The district cooperates with community groups and organizations that sponsor activities of an educational/enrichment nature for students by distributing materials electronically through the Peachjar system. Paper flyers from outside organizations are no longer distributed.
 
All materials must meet the requirements of Board Policy 8-25: Advertising and Distributing Materials in Schools Provided by Non-School Related Entities. All board policies can be found under the BOE section of the website.

Protocol for Media Credentials for Entrance to Sports Contests and Events:
Applications are for working media only, which includes print media with a circulation base, radio audio streaming, television videographer, or tape delayed video streaming for public viewing (video requires authorization and expressed permission).  Website credentialing must meet the following requirements:
Websites must be determined to be primarily a news-gathering organization, with an emphasis on regularly-scheduled event coverage. The site must also have a demonstrated history and reputation for providing sustained game coverage of high school sports and activities.  The Website must be broad-based in nature. The site shall not be primarily a personal page, fan based site, or player ranking-evaluation-recruiting site. The Website may not display advertising or content on any page associated with its high school sports coverage that is not compatible with the mission or the message of high school sports as determined by the SD 308.
SD 308 does not issue credentials for freelance writers, freelance or commercial photographers, or recruiting services.
Parents of student-athletes and individuals under the age of 16 are not eligible to receive credentials.  SD 308 Communications Department reserves the right to refuse media credentials requests for any reason.  No credential requests are guaranteed.
For consideration, provide the following information no later than three full days prior to the date of the contest or event:
Name, Publication/Organization Name, Assignment, Media Type/Use, Team(s) Covered, Phone, Business Email Address. Also provide the entity editor's name and contact information. All approved requests will be fulfilled through the publication's managing editor.
