As recently as this fall, Middletown City Schools has jumped into the local social community with Twitter and Facebook. I think Debbie Alberico is to blame.
Debbie Alberico is the Director of Community Relations / Communications at Middletown City Schools. Ms. Alberico has always reached out to the internet as a way to communicate to and from parents, students and the public
She sees her top most important job is to "Develop and supervise the implementation of strategic
communication plans". Source: Linkedin profile
The Middletown City School District is expected to see a reduction in state funding for next year. The reduction could be up to $5 million. The impact of the 20% reduction to the general operating budget could cause a reduction in services and programs offered in the schools. So how does Middletown City Schools communicate to the community while seeing a potential hit to her budget? The answer is social communication. For years Debbie Alberico has informed the community via press releases to the local newspaper as well as other media outlets such as television, radio and local web sites.
Here are a few examples of important school news provided to MiddletownUSA by Debbie Alberico:
Now Middletown City Schools is adding to their communication efforts by adding social accounts.
