Nyssa SD 26 board proposes district newsletter, bilingual outreach to improve communications
Summary
Board members proposed a district newsletter, multilingual mailers and partnerships with the local chamber to increase awareness of school events, hiring opportunities and to better engage parents before transitions between grade levels.
Board members said the district needs a more uniform communications system to reach families who do not use social media. One member said, "we don't have a newspaper," and proposed a mailed newsletter or a joint chamber-school mailer with Spanish-language content on one side and English on the other to boost reach.
Suggestions included regular principal blurbs, text messaging, bilingual materials and better promotion of job openings and coaching positions. The board discussed using existing human capital (a teacher) to prepare content and exploring chamber partnerships to underwrite distribution costs.
