Events and Flyers Guidelines
The Board of Education feels it imperative that communication be maintained in both directions between the public schools of the district ad local organizations such as the districts school support groups, non-profit volunteer groups which serve youth and the local governmental units within the school district boundaries.
Community organizations that desire to present flyers for their non-profit community events should review
Policy 910

at least two weeks before the event to
Erin Crew, Manager of Communications and Marketing
at ecrew@spring-ford.net. Only electronic PDF versions of flyers will be accepted for posting. After review for approval, your flyer will be posted.
