What this document actually says
Policy 1100: Communication With The Public (Last revised September 13, 2022)
This policy establishes how Reed Union School District communicates with the community. The Superintendent develops strategies for two-way communication between the district and public, using methods like newsletters, websites, social media, parent meetings, and news releases. The district must accommodate people with disabilities and non-English speakers. Community members are encouraged to participate in school activities, serve on committees, and provide input at Board meetings.
Key Restriction: The policy prohibits using district funds for mass mailings (200+ items) that prominently feature Board members' names or photos, especially within 60 days before an election. Exceptions exist for rosters, meeting announcements, and business cards. The Superintendent may develop a comprehensive communications plan with goals, target audiences, and crisis communication strategies.
What this means for your family
What This Means for Families: You have multiple ways to stay informed and provide input—newsletters, websites, social media, parent meetings, and Board meetings. The district must communicate in accessible formats and languages you understand. You're encouraged to volunteer, join committees, and share concerns through official channels. This policy ensures the district keeps you informed about programs, achievements, and needs while preventing misuse of public funds for political campaigning by Board members.
