School & Higher Education

We understand that a school is a complex institution with many distinct responsibilities. We work closely with every school district and higher education client to help them balance their obligations as an employer, a workplace, a social services agency, a financial institution and a governmental body. Our experience with constituent and public relations means that we can account for school districts’ need to communicate effectively with the public on almost everything they do.
