Communications
The Avon Lake City Schools Communications Department is proud to serve as a liaison between the District and the community, ensuring that families, residents, and media outlets all receive timely and accurate information about our schools. We also strive to promote the positives within our district, promoting the achievements of our students, staff, and stakeholders. We are responsible for maintaining the district's website, social media, e-newsletters, printed newsletters, Quality Profile, and other promotional items as needed.
Media Guidelines
The Avon Lake City Schools welcomes members of the media into our schools and strives to provide the most accurate and timely information available.
Interview Requests
Please contact Communications Coordinator Julie Short via e-mail at julie.short@alcsoh.org if you’d like to arrange an interview with a member of the Avon Lake City Schools. Mrs. Short works part-time for the school district. Thank you in advance for awaiting a reply as she is not in the district every day.
Photographing Students and Staff
Some students choose not to be photographed. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) allows students and parents to opt out of the release of certain information about students, including photographs, and the Avon Lake City Schools operates in compliance with this law. Before we can allow anyone to take photos, video and/or quotes from our students, a school administrator or the Communications Coordinator must confirm.
