SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY

 

The purpose of social media is to:

  • Promote PTA, membership, PTA programs and events
  • Direct traffic to the PTA website for more information, encouraging participation and membership
  • Promote best practices
  • Provide accurate, relevant and up-to-date information

 

Content

The PTA executive board shall approve the site and assign the responsibility for monitoring content. Content on all social media outlets used by the PTA shall:

  • Be civil, cordial and relevant
  • Be inclusive for all groups
  • Avoid making sites exclusive vehicles for board information behind passwords. ­
  • Avoid “PTA-speak” by not using words or acronyms the average parent would not understand.
  • Not include documents intended for members only, such as bylaws, minutes and financials, unless access is protected and available only to members of that PTA
  • Not endorse, promote or solicit on behalf of a business, product or service
  • Not include comments and posts used as advertising space (explicit or implied)
  • Not endorse a candidate or political party
  • Be verified for access
  • Obtain permission from individuals prior to posting photographs and videos.
  • Check with the school district’s communications administrator for guidelines on the photo release policy, or obtain a signed photo release thorough the PTA before publishing any photo or video.
