Bridgeport Public Schools Communications Department to Close Effective July 15, 2011

 

Due to budget cuts, the Director of Communications position, as well as the Communications Department, will be eliminated on Friday, July 15, 2011.

 

“Through our work and commitment over the last three years, we have improved the image of Bridgeport Public Schools,” states Veronica Douglas-Givan, Director of Communications and External Affairs. “With a pro-active communications department, we’ve improved public relations and outreach to parents and local communities. Our interaction with the media has also given the region a better understanding of who our scholars are, as well as their challenges and triumphs. We appreciate the communication we’ve shared with parents, teachers, and the supporting community over the past three years.”

 

After July 15, all media inquiries are to be directed to the Superintendent’s Office, at

(203) 275-1001 or jramos@bridgeportedu.net.

 

The mission of the Bridgeport Public Schools and its supporting community is to graduate all students “college ready” and prepared to succeed in life.  For more information about Bridgeport Public Schools visit our website at www.bridgeportedu.com.
