Requests for 媒体 Coverage

When requests for student interviews are granted, the interview will be conducted at a district-designated site to minimize disruption to the learning environment.

All media requests to interview, 记录, or photograph employees, 学生, or board members must be made through the 沟通s Coordinator.

媒体 on School Property

There are times when members of the media will need to access our schools in order to report on district stories. Members of the media are expected to notify the 沟通s Coordinator for approval prior to gaining access to district 适当的ty. As a safety and security precaution, the media will be asked to sign in at the main office and follow all visitor procedures when entering district 适当的ty.

The presiding adult may intercede in the interview or photography any time he/she judges the questions or images to conflict with the best interests of the student or the district.

学校董事会 Meetings

Members of the media are invited to attend all open meetings of the 学校董事会. 媒体 may videotape and/or 记录 these meetings. To avoid disruption of the meeting, members of the media are asked not to approach board members, 演讲嘉宾, or members of the audience inside the boardroom during the meeting.

For anything other than routine game coverage, including athletic interview requests and any formal release of information to the media (i.e. press releases), all media inquiries should be directed to the 沟通s Coordinator.

紧急情况

During emergency situations, OCSD will work as cooperatively as possible to provide timely information to the media on the emergency and its impact on 学生 and staff members, provided the release of information does not jeopardize the emergency response activities, or conflict with FERPAA, the well-being of our 学生 和员工, or the concerns of their families. Members of the media may be assigned to a designated site to ensure full access by emergency response teams. The 沟通s Coordinator will work as quickly as possible to provide accurate information to the media through a spokesperson, 写释放, or news briefings.
