Social media is an integral part of our daily communications, shaping how we personally interact with our local, national and global communities. Social networks also provide opportunities for school districts to connect and share information with the public, to highlight successes and display transparency in board actions. Yet while these tools can enhance connectivity and efficiency in messaging, there are challenges that come with utilizing social media forums while serving in a public role. PSBA has updated our Social Media Guide for Pennsylvania School Board Directors to help you navigate the evolving world of social media and its significant impact on your role. Discover insights and learn recommendations in this newly revised guide, located in the Resource Library under the Gain Knowledge tab on myPSBA.
