If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em! OHSPRA “Best-of-the-Best” Award-winning communications pro Dan Rajkovich runs his communications and marketing department at Fairview Park City School District like a newsroom. He collects information on the positive news in his district, writes his own stories and publishes the articles where he knows his parents and community members are reading. Join Rajkovich as he shares how this approach helps him to not only stay “in the know” on positive stories across his district, but also keep his stakeholders engaged in what’s happening in his schools. He will provide samples of his award-winning work and data to show that it’s working!
