Building Our Communications Plan

In September 2021 we created a communications team to help us create a 3-year plab=n.

Communications Committee Charge:

The Communications Committee shall review the Sun Prairie Area School District communication work as a group to develop a written plan that details a comprehensive communication strategy for the district within the context of the parameters detailed below.

The Committee develops a communication plan that:

Seeks robust two-way communication with all members of the school district community
Provides honest information to all members of the community and increases transparency in a way that builds trust
Engages all community members who may not have a natural connection to the district in a thoughtful and meaningful way
Is based on the District’s Strategic Plan
Builds on best practices in communication and successful communication efforts in the district

Committee membership and the work of the committee, including meeting minutes, can be found here.
