Time to Shine! Districts invited to submit communications products for KSBA OASIS program
Did your school district have a special event that knocked the socks off parents and community partners this year?
Did you resdesign or launch a new website that is sharing information about your schools and students?
Does your monthly newsletter keep staff, students and others ahead of the game about upcoming events?
Are you proud of any other type of communications product or program that should be shared with other educational professionals across the state?
