News Room

Lexington District One’s Communications Office works with the media to respond to their requests for information and/or interviews.

In order to protect instructional time at schools and to ensure that the media relations process works smoothly for everyone, reporters should not contact schools directly but should contact the Communications Office for assistance. 

Communications staff works with school principals and school-level public relations correspondents to determine if a school can accommodate a reporter’s request and to ensure that the district has the parent’s permission. The district does not let students talk directly to a reporter without a parent’s prior consent. 

Should media wish to interview an employee, staff can contact the employee and make arrangements for the interview. 

The Communications Office provides several online resources that may answer media questions. The district’s About page and News Room is particularly helpful. We encourage media to cover certain school events and activities and provide media advisories for your convenience.
