Key Communicators
Mission Statement
The Key Communicator Network is a network of opinion leaders who establish solid two-way communications among organizations and their public. These opinion leaders talk to lots of people who tend to listen to what they have to say. They keep in touch with district officials and immediately report questions, concerns, rumors, etc.
Goals of the Key Communicator Network Committee Include:
- Improved communication with the public leads to better student education because of a higher level of trust and communication in decision making.
- An informed community also increases parental involvement and support for students.
