    • The team members in the district’s Community Relations Department are dedicated to keeping Osceola County residents informed about the School Board, the Osceola School District, and the individual public schools within the district.

      1. The district has an important responsibility to communicate effectively with all stakeholders.
      2. Effective communication helps increase student achievement, and is a two-way process involving both internal and external publics.
      3. Effective communication is the responsibility of every employee in the district.
