Communications/School-
Community Relations Plan
Communication is all about building
relationships with internal and external key
stakeholders.
Strong school communication helps
students and schools achieve and
succeed.
Good human relationships engender
respect, cooperation, and collaboration…
but good human relationships do not
happen in and of themselves, they must
be planned and implemented with careful
deliberation.
Communication is the lifeblood of a
school organization.
“Whether a school system is excellent or
mediocre depends on how these people
work together, how they communicate,
how they relate, are involved, participate
and share. A public/community relations
program is aimed at focusing on the
relationships of all these people, with an
overall goal of improving student
achievement.” - Albert E. Holliday
The essential element in
communication and school-
community relations is relationship.
• The educational leader must establish a
positive relationship among all key
stakeholders.
• These key stakeholders consist of
parents, students, teachers/staff, and
community/business people.
A good public/community relations
program will not exist without a plan.
