Colorado Commissioner of Education Dr. Susana Córdova knows the importance of public education first-hand and believes the stories being told by school districts across the state are the best way to educate Coloradans about the work being done in our classrooms and its impact on students.

You made it to the promised land – Summer Break. As one of my favorite summertime songs says, summer is a “time to sit back and unwind.”

This time of the year can be pretty frenetic in school districts. There are so many great stories and events to cover, making it one of my favorite, but most tiring times of the year for school communicators. 

COSPRA members asked for more information about Colorado open records law and how to protect our logos, so we pulled in some friends from Caplan and Earnest and Sheridan Ross to get some legal advice on these topics.

We have heard from a number of members about difficulties in renewing their memberships this year. Please know that we are looking for a long term solution while helping everyone navigate the current system in the short term.

Everyone is different, but it is important for school communicators to recharge by doing something that they love: reading a good book, going for a run, or in my case: taking a long nap. 

As you may know, the National School Public Relations Association (NSPRA) is the parent organization of the Colorado School Public Relations Association and becoming members of both expands your network, knowledge and skills as a school communicator.

Finalsite will be giving away one full-price tuition and one half-price tuition to lucky COSPRA members. Enter here and a drawing will be held during COSPRA Office Hours on Wednesday, March 20, 2024.

With COSPRA's conference coming up in June and NSPRA's in July we thought it would be helpful to hear from members about the take aways they had from last summer's NSPRA Seminar and how to get the most out of the upcoming experiences.

As school communicators, representing schools and school districts across the state, we have a special opportunity to be able to support others in public education through our knowledge, expertise and access. We are all here to serve the children of Colorado’s public schools.  Perhaps the most powerful part of what we do is collaboration
