Spokane Public Schools believes in strong communication with employees, and the community.

We are dedicated to informative and timely communications with the public regarding academic achievement, education reform, levy/bond information, safety, diversity, technology, and budget priorities.

The Community Relations department provides Spokane Public Schools with a variety of services, tools and strategies for communicating and partnering with our community. Our staff members have expertise in customer service, media, marketing, public engagement and community outreach, and we are available to consult with schools to help promote their many wonderful programs, events and opportunities.

Using news releases, news tips, and story ideas, we maintain frequent contact with the media.
