School funding video now available!
Brought to you by WSPRA, WASBO and Captivate Media
WSPRA has teamed up with Captivate Media and WASBO to bring a school funding video to our members. And the best part is, it's FREE!
We understand that school funding is a complex topic, and often the message coming from the state level doesn’t align with the realities of where schools find themselves financially each year. Therefore, WSPRA Vice President Emily DeBaker and Executive Director Debbie Brewster created a small team consisting of school communications professionals, a superintendent, school business managers, and WASBO staff to work with Captivate Media in creating a school funding video that our members can use as they communicate with the public about school finance, especially when pursuing a referendum.
Key messages of the video include:
School funding is a complex equation
Our goal is to provide students with the best possible educational experience
Breakdown of different funding sources and how they are used in the budget
Audience:
Voters who are hearing conflicting messages from state/school district.
In addition, for a small cost, Captivate Media can customize this video to fit your district’s branding and specific funding situation.
CLICK HERE (or on the image below) to download the video and to learn more about customizing the video for your district. An example of a customized version, compliments of the Racine Unified School District, will be shared in our March 7 newsletter, WSPRAgram.
The video download link is also available on the WSPRA website. The Racine example will be posted early next week.
