School PR Happy Hour School PR Happy Hour

For the past 9 months, CESO Communications has been hosting monthly webinars on their Youtube channel. This month Justin and Nicole Kirby, APR are bringing that format to podcast. You can learn more about these professional development opportunities on CESO Communications's LinkedIn and X accounts.

Becca and Alex, a teacher in Illinois, talk about the role communications and administration play in the day to day for teachers and how we as administers can step up and help out!

Justin is joined by show co-host Becca Latham and School PR pro, David O. to talk about their APR journeys. All three are in the middle of the process somewhere and wanted to share whats working for them, what worries them and some of the roadblocks we all have faced. This is a bit of a different approach to our usual show. We hope you enjoy the raw uncut feel of this very transparent conversation.

Whether it is closing schools due to dropping enrollment or your community questioning all things finance, we are all dealing with complex issues in School PR. Julie and Justin chat about how to communicate during these times. The main focus of this episode is financial transparency, but many of the ideas shared work with many complex issues. Thanks for being here!

As you know we like to flip the script a little around Valentine's Day and feature guests that we may not hear from on the regular. In the past it has been spouses, significant others, or kids of the hosts... Today, we get to meet Becca's boyfriend Keith and hear his thoughts on the stresses of School PR.

Becca is joined by one of NSPRA's Golden Achievement Award Winners, Jacqueline Paul, Director of Communications with Jurupa Unified School District in California. Jaqueline shares some of the creative approaches her HR and Communications team collaborated on to get GREAT results in staff recruitment! Enjoy!
