School District and Educational Service Agency: Open Communication
ISDs have a long history of open communication with our legislators.
We also have direct dialogue with our local superintendents and school
boards, regularly reviewing our efforts programs and funding.
And, we have a track record of candid communication with our local media
to ensure that our communities know and understand our efforts on behalf
of children and families.
In addition, ISDs – collectively as part of our state association
– have provided legislators with a document called ISDs’
Mission, Role and Essential Services. Originally developed in 1990,
revised in 1993, and updated in 2000, it is a tool that we’ve
used to help legislators and others understand what ISDs do and are
capable of doing.
