Superintendent recommends restricting community postings; board opts to continue case‑by‑case vetting
Summary
Superintendent Mark Winter said past negative experiences led him to recommend the district not allow community-event postings on district channels; Trustee June Rezac said community partners have been allowed to post and the board agreed to continue vetting requests case by case.
Superintendent Mark Winter raised whether the district should adopt a policy limiting who can post items on the district website and social media, post posters in schools, or participate in backpack stuffing. Winter said his experience suggested negative outcomes from open posting and "recommended that the district not allow any posting of community events." Trustee June Rezac countered that community partners have historically been allowed to post and that external calendars (TCU and JWP) already list community events using district facilities.
After discussion the board did not adopt a formal prohibition and instead agreed the web/social media managers and administration will continue to vet requests on a case‑by‑case basis using past practice. The board directed administration to maintain the current system of requests and links to facility‑use calendars while considering whether formal language should be drafted for a future meeting.
