Communication Services

ESD 112 maintains the largest school communications program of the nine educational service districts in the state. School districts are our specialty and we’ve been serving them for 50 years. Although our scope of services has grown dramatically through the years based on client demand, we still believe in the power of personalized services tailored to the unique needs of every district.

Each member of our award-winning school communication services team has a communications degree, plus extensive knowledge and expertise in the field. We’ve built an expansive menu of affordable communications products and services.

Most importantly, our staff maintains broad knowledge of, and sensitivity to, the issues and challenges for educators in the state.

Regional Communications Consortium

Regional Communications Consortium

School districts from Southwest Washington and across the state choose to participate in our Consortium for communications coordination, so they don’t have to go it alone when it comes to big issues like school funding, labor disputes, cell phone bans, Title IX, social media best practices, and other emerging hot topics. Areas of focus are discussed and materials produced through collaborative communication and messaging development. Each year we produce a dozen or more communications talking points, templates, and other shared materials for our Consortium members to utilize and customize. We stay on top of the hot-button issues and alert our district partners, so they can concentrate on educating students.

Consortium Benefits

  • Weekly meetings focused on current communication issues and topics

  • Access to dozens of communication templates

  • Dedicated time for crisis communication assistance
