Social Media Guidelines for Staff

When participating on social media, please be mindful that any posts or comments you make about the District equate to advertising for or against the district. Please focus on adding value to the school district with your posts.

When posting on social media as a staff member or about Barnum Schools, use the following tips to help avoid negative repercussions and potential legal issues:

    • Do not share confidential or sensitive information related to school personnel or students.
    • Be polite, courteous, and only post what you would want your grandmother, supervisor or children to see.
    • Refrain from feeding into negativity, even if you are trying to counter the negativity.
    • When in doubt, do not post.
    • If you are angry, do not post.
    • If you have an issue with a specific person or group, have a face-t0-face discussion with that person or group. Do not air the issue on social media about the person or group.
    • Be clear if you are speaking on behalf of the District in a professional capacity or if you are expressing your personal opinions.
    • If you are expressing personal opinions, think twice before posting.
    • If you are sharing information, check your source and be confident you are sharing accurate and complete information.

If you have issues with or questions for the District or District personnel, social media is not the appropriate place to address those issues or questions. Go to: Communication Flow Chart for the proper communication path.
