Page 16 - Superintendents Toolkit 2013

Note from IASA Director of Communications
The suggested talking points and sample letters included in this section of the
Superintendent’s Toolkit are designed to provide you with some general talking
points on a variety of issues that have arisen throughout the state.
In most cases, they would need to be customized with your specific school district
information, and we have tried to highlight those areas. Some talking points may
not even apply to the situation in your district. In most cases, talking points can
easily be turned into letters or vice-versa.
Also, it is our suggestion that you always run the talking points and/or letters by your board
president, school attorney and, if applicable, your local law enforcement agency to make sure
everyone is on the same page and that everyone agrees on the facts.
As Director of Communications for IASA, I always am available to assist members with issues that
may arise in your district. My email is mchamness@iasaedu.org,the office phone is (217) 753-
2213, and my cell phone is (217) 836-5019. Please do not hesitate to call at any time if I can be of
assistance.
