Board establishes Public Information Committee

Call for volunteers proficient in public relations and other relevant fields

March 12, 2009 - In an effort to improve communication between the school district and its many publics, the Voorheesville Central School District’s Board of Education approved the creation of a temporary Public Information Committee at its Feb. 9 meeting.

The district is currently seeking members of the community, who have expertise in the fields of public relations, marketing and communications, to volunteer. Membership will consist of four community members, a district staff member, two school board members and the superintendent of schools.

The committee will meet monthly to review and implement suggestions from the district’s communications forum and online survey, and will also solicit additional input from the community. The group will be charged with reviewing approaches used by other school districts to communicate effectively, working with media and other district organizations—such as the Parent Teacher Association and Voorheesville Teachers Association—to further convey the district’s messages. Additionally, the committee will provide input regarding the district Web site design.

If you would like to be part of this committee, please e-mail Interim Superintendent Raymond Colucciello at rcolucci@vcsd.k12.org or call the district office at 785-3313.
