Communications lead departs; Millbrook expands continuing-education offerings and seeks interns to support district communications
Summary
District communications lead Laura Fiscine accepted a role with BOCES; the district is seeking interns and temporary options for communications work while continuing evening continuing-education courses and the 'Millbrook Minute' YouTube updates.
Amy (S11), who oversees community relations, told the board that Laura Fiscine, the district—ommunications person, accepted a position with BOCES and that a recently appointed replacement resigned for family reasons. The administration is pursuing creative, temporary options including college interns to provide communications support while recruiting a permanent replacement.
Amy said Millbrook Minute is back on the district YouTube channel and that fall continuing-education courses are posted and will be promoted via email and social media. She reported five continuing-education courses ran over the summer and that approximately 70 students participated in Summer Scholars plus three extended-school-year programs.
Why it matters: communications staffing affects how the district notifies families about time-sensitive items such as special-education consent forms, back-to-school nights and program sign-ups; trustees asked the administration to post information on the website and to continue outreach during the transition.
Next steps: administration will pursue interns and temporary options to maintain communications capacity while continuing to advertise and offer evening continuing-education programming.
