School and Community Relations


  1. Based on the information presented in Maxouris & Gray (2018), do you feel that the situation was managed correctly?  Provide rationale for your answer.  Remember you should view this from a public relations perspective, as opposed to a personal perspective. Cite evidence from the reading or other scholarly sources.
  2. As a school/ district leader, what if anything do you envision doing differently in your response to the school community?
