Book excerpt: A Year of PR: A Collection from an Educational Service Center is unlike any other public relations book for schools. It offers a year’s worth of press releases involving real schools, their students, faculty, and administrators, and covers a plethora of topics—from general operations and building upgrades to fund-raising and human interest features—all of which aim to inspire principals and superintendents to write and share their own positive public relations. With so much media coverage these days focusing on school violence, troubled youth, and funding issues, the general public may not be aware of all the good things happening within their local schools’ walls: Students are working hard to surpass academic goals, perform athletic feats, embrace new technology, and help others—making the world a better place. Take a page from A Year of PR and highlight your own school district with a smart press release plan. Let the community know what your students are up to. Shine a light on teachers who go the extra mile, community leaders who get involved with the schools, and interesting people who have a positive impact on the district. By keeping people informed, you improve relations between schools and communities and keep residents invested in their district. Moreover, a good public relations strategy presents an opportunity to show stakeholders the positive impact that faculty, staff, administrators, board members, and most importantly, students make in our communities.
