9120C - NEWS MEDIA RELATIONS
The Superintendent will function as the Corporation's communication representative with the news media and the principal will serve that function at the school level. In order to maintain a progressive and coordinated program of public relations for the Corporation, it is essential that:
reporters seeking information from a staff member or requesting an interview with a staff member must contact the Corporation’s communication representative to set up an appointment for this purpose which will not interfere with the staff member’s daily activities;
students are not permitted, during school hours or on school property, to provide information about school activities or an interview to representatives of the news media without prior approval of the school communications representative. The Corporation reserves the right to have a representative present at such a meeting with news media.
